This deck presents the creative direction for CTIJF 2026 content production, developed by Creative Director Gcobisa Yako in collaboration with the ByBento production team.
It outlines the visual language, tone, and storytelling approach that will guide all photography, videography, and social content across the four festival days, culminating in a cinematic after-movie, "Legacy aNEW".
We invite your feedback on the direction before we move into detailed shot lists and crew briefings.
This presentation is 30 minutes and includes a mix of written copy slides and reference video montages. Feel free to skip through the video sections, but please take the time to read each written copy page as they contain Gee's creative rationale and approach.
