Work
I WILL GRADUATE
Ousseynou has spent the last few years managing all creative needs at the I WILL GRADUATE Youth Development Program: spearheading the production of the company’s feature-length documentary projects, talk-show style interview series, and citywide events. Beginning as just a Film Intern, his resourcefulness and creative talents saw him quickly rise in role and responsibility, eventually leading to him being entrusted with the creative and narrative direction of nearly all of the organization’s media efforts.
Often working as the sole person in the creative department, this role has required forward-thinking, adaptabilty, and tenacity to wear the myriad of hats needed to properly tell I WILL GRADUATE’s story. As he’s learned and grown into the role, Ousseynou has developed a proven track record of bringing projects to completion, all while committing to constantly elevating the brand presence and quality of work being developed for the organization.

Ousseynou served as an intern for the New New Yorkers Program at the Queens Museum, where he produced and edited video content to boost audience engagement and amplify the mission of the program, such as the showcased video.
School
The New York University Tisch School of the Arts Film and Television program proved to be an invaluable playground for experimentation, failure, and the resulting growth as Ousseynou got the chance to study the art of filmmaking around some of the most talented creative minds of his generation.
