“Dark Rising” is a British indie production that sets the superhero scenario in the slums of East Africa and so far looks as if it could be the deeper, dirtier and more atmospheric Black Panther, just as a series. The concept trailer looks promising and hopefully the series will find a buyer. Well, Netflix, how about it?
From the politically charged slums of East Africa, to neglected communities across the world, Dark Rising tells the story of troubled youths discovering formidable and dangerous powers.
In our pilot, a wily and ambitious youth in Kenya explores his nascent abilities, trains his young sister and grasps for greater political ambitions. With a global scope and hyper-realistic tone, Dark Rising champions diversity in the superhero genre, pushing it into nuanced and more gritty territory. Edged closer to darkness than heroism, we watch as the show's protagonists rediscover and rebuild morality in a world where they could so easily rule supreme.
This concept pilot features under-represented African talent, local to Kibera slum in Nairobi - including debuts from Maxmillan Odhiambo and Ann Marie Chibole.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
