The Anthologies
KEMET ANTHOLOGIES will serve as a vibrant canvas for storytelling, a space where creativity and diversity bloom. These standalone narratives, while bearing the KEMET insignia, are not bound by the continuity of the main tapestry. Each story in the Anthologies is a universe unto itself, offering a unique exploration of themes, characters, and worlds.
“The KEMET UNIVERSE (KU) is a tapestry of narratives, a kaleidoscope of stories that reflect the diverse experiences and cultures of Africa and the world.”
As mentioned, KEMET is more than just a cinematic universe; it's social cinema. We believe in the power of stories to connect people, to inspire change, and to disrupt the status quo. Our mission is to tell stories that are not only entertaining, but also socially relevant and impactful.
We aim to embrace uniqueness and authenticity, focusing on quality over quantity, creating strong marketing and branding, collaborating with talented individuals, and being willing to adapt and innovate.
Narrative Style
“KEMET is more than just a name. Or a brand. It's a call to action for creatives, for storytellers, and for anyone who believes in the power of stories and cinema.”
The Main Anthologies
Our first batch of Anthologies will deal with both children and adult themes, from ancient legends to current events and afrofuturism. Some are directly set in the same universe as The Pillars, while others will either be completely standalone, or create their own pocket universe. They are as follows:
Set many cycles after the events of The Ivory Sun, in the Kingdom of Suunet-Tra, on the brink of twilight and at the crossroads of the four winds of Aswad's holy mountain, the White Serpent, sacred beast of tales ancestral, is revealed to the most reckless of adventurers. Anyone who does not successfully respond to his twelve requests before the end of the lunar cycle will not return alive; but to those who do, riches and glory await at the top. Five travelers, each with their own agenda, unexpectedly meet at the foot of the mountain, and decide to climb it together.
