One unique selling point of the film, besides the very engaging and relatable story, is its cinematography, which was masterfully crafted by TAJ himself, whose creative choices in the lighting and production design further accentuate the mis-en-scene and the story world that is peculiar to the characters.

If you know how many books and films I have written in my parallel life... The Impostor has to die walahi! .

Film Producer

This looks like you will be giving a lot of visual value on the screen and will to a certain extent satiate your audience with your presentation.

Film Director

I love that your creative choices in lighting and mis-en-scene propel the narrative arch forward and visually accentuates the story. Well done.

ABOUT THE FILM

Everyone who has ever tried to create something, has at some point gone through a phase of self doubting their ability, not sure they are good enough or feeling like a fraud, especially with the pressure of trying to replicate their hit work and struggling to get it done.
It's usually an illusion trying to distract you from your main goal, that illusion is the impostor, telling you, you can’t do it, you are not good enough, someone has done it before, your time has not come, you cant replicate your success. Don’t lose to it, just stay through to your process.
The writer in the story is used as a metaphor for anyone who is going through the process of creating anything, it will not come easy, it will be tough but don't lose to the impostor.
‘Whatever is standing between you and your chance at success is an impostor, kill it, hence the title Kill The Impostor’
