👋🏾 About Me:
Hi, I’m Takunda Aaron Chimutashu, aka Zen ISA, an award-winning filmmaker, author, and media specialist. With over six years of experience, I’ve produced over 100 high-quality videos, articles, and two books that resonate with audiences across various industries. I’ve collaborated with brands and organizations to tell powerful stories through film, content creation, and writing, ensuring that each project is rooted in authenticity, creativity, and strategy.
👇🏾 How Can I Help You?
User-Generated Content
As a specialist in user-generated content, I help brands create relatable material that speaks to their audience’s needs and desires. I’ve successfully produced content for AMAKA Studio, and in my collaboration with Let Them Trust, I directed and created 85+ videos—from promotional material to short films—that engaged communities and expanded their reach. My clients can expect content that not only aligns with their brand identity but also drives audience connection and engagement.
Video Editing & Filmmaking
I bring an award-winning track record in filmmaking to every project. My documentary Create Zim won Best Documentary at the European Film Festival and was nominated for a ZAFTA and the Black Cat Festival. My skills in editing and storytelling also led me to direct the editing process for 10 short documentaries with MAGAMBA, showcasing the 2023 cohort of Voice2Rep artists. I’m currently in production on Namibia Rising, which promises to be an impactful exploration of post-colonial resilience. For my clients, this means top-tier visual storytelling that is creative, polished, and engaging.
