I've written Who Is Paneel? A feature film comedy drama set in South East London. Chike, a warm, quick-witted young man who delivers mail and shopping to the residents of a mansion block, agrees to pass a message to a man he has never met, and a small social white lie starts to run away with him. The script is finished and I'm seeking production partners. I'm happy to send the script! Photo by Hani Bashir on Unsplash

I'm co-producing an Afrobeats film, written by Bola Agbaje, which we hope will be unique and pioneering. Set between the UK and Nigeria, Shake Body a coming-of-age tale about identity and belonging, with Afrobeats as the vehicle. We're in script and pre-production, and still raising finance. Have a look at the deck and get in touch if you can help! Photo by Ben Iwara on Unsplash

I'm producing an eight-part documentary series, Anatomy of a Football Club that goes inside a football club, co-produced with Stephen Johnstone. It's in development, and I'm looking for advice and backing from people in the game. Photo by Waldemar Brandt on Unsplash

A current affairs format with a travelling studio audience, built around Africa and its diaspora. Examples of episodes include vaccine hesitancy on the continent and why school-leaving exams from Africa are not accepted by many universities in Europe and North America.

One history teacher took nearly 13,000 school photographs across Australia, Togo and the UK. His digitised archive has drawn more than 2.5 million views online. I'm developing a project about what it remembers. I was a pupil at the British School of Lomé myself, so this one is personal. Photo by Joe Pee on Unsplash

Editing and publishing GreyContinent.com, a website for great African journalism which will have articles, videos, podcasts, digital story telling.

This is currently on hiatus. I'd like to get the best writers to write for Grey Continent, but the best writers want to get paid, which I support. We're trying to figure out how to make it work on a shoestring budget. We should be back soon.

In-depth journalism and independent reporting on Pan-African current affairs, culture, politics, business and technology.

I'm pitching an interview podcast about interviews, developed with Decca Aitkenhead, chief interviewer at the Sunday Times. Qs on Qs would talk to people who interview for a living about how they get subjects to open up. I've done thousands of interviews, mostly for radio, and Decca has done plenty too, but we have different techniques and foibles. If you're a podcast executive who's interested, get in touch.
