One events that change Oshane’s life was the loss of one his best friend. He had his finals exams in the morning. When he woke up by his mother screaming saying, “Dem kill Orane” it felt like his heart dropped into the pit of his stomach, waking up to see one of his best friends lying dead on the street.

STATEMENT
In my work I pride myself in trying to be capturing a feeling or emotional tone and colors to help my audience understand my content. When they can see themselves in my work it helps them to never forget it because they have an attachment to it. Whether it is music videos documentaries or short films I want my audience to be people of all ages and races. I make films to create and tell stories. All arts are language; whether it is dancing, drawing, poetry, painting, writing, filmmaking etc. and I us these medium to tell the message. I still tell stories through other mediums but as it relates to film and video it chose me. I got into video when I went with one my close friend, that does music on a video shoot with him, and I was intrigued by the process. I realized how much it cost him to shoot the video. I told him I was going to teach myself how to shoot. And the first music video I ever shot made it on BET and MTV TV network. The rest was history. The emotions, I want my audience to feel are sadness, joy, anger etc. it all depends on which video they are watching.
