Our founder & ceo
Born in Germany and raised in Atlanta, Daleshawn ‘Shawn’ Omotayo Butler possesses a keen ear for the harmonies and rhythms that narrate stories without words. As a celebrated sound designer and audio engineer, he is making waves in the industry by blending artistry with technical mastery to create immersive auditory experiences across various mediums. Whether it’s the pulse of a track or the ambiance of a film, Shawn has a unique ability to shape sound that resonates deeply with audiences.
Now, Shawn is channeling his creativity into filmmaking, inspired by a strong desire to not just shape sound but to influence narratives. Driven by a passion for African culture, lifestyle, and the continent’s rich heritage, he is on a mission to create films for Africans by Africans. With his wife’s Nigerian roots and the vibrant cultural diversity across the continent as guiding influences, Shawn is committed to elevating authentic African stories through the lens of Africa’s own voices.
His filmmaking journey is about cultivating a dynamic space where African identities, traditions, and modern lifestyles can be celebrated and showcased on the global stage. Shawn’s current projects are all about capturing the essence of everyday African life, weaving rich cultural tapestries with themes that resonate across generations. From rural landscapes to urban rhythms, he aims to reflect Africa’s evolving narrative—one that is often misunderstood or misrepresented by outsiders.
“I want African stories told by those who live them,” Shawn asserts. “The traditions, the experiences, the dreams of the people deserve to be seen through their eyes for the rest of the world to see.”
This current venture into filmmaking is powered by the same commitment to excellence that he has brought to sound engineering, now focusing on shaping visual stories with authenticity and innovation. His projects span various genres—
from heartfelt dramas to animated children’s stories and visionary explorations of Africa’s future—positioning Shawn as a key player in the film industry.
As African film gains global recognition, Shawn is emerging as a trailblazer, dedicated to amplifying African voices, promoting African culture, and telling compelling stories that resonate with audiences worldwide.
This chapter in Shawn’s career is unfolding right now—a journey filled with powerful stories, cultural celebration, and a
cinematic revolution led by Africa, in Africa, and for Africa.
