FLCKR (Shingirai Byron Maswera)  is a 22 year old photographer & creative director living in Harare, Zimbabwe. He describes himself as a Creative Director who started in photography but now does a lot more including filming & directing. Typically having always been under someone's guide helping them with their own project, FLCKR decided to take the reins & direct Project Kickflip (a documentary following Zimbabwe's skateboarding culture) set to premier on the 29th of October 2022.

"As a Creative Director, I want to bring light to the small stories that one would never even consider hearing or telling. Coming from a country where a culture such as Skateboarding (which is considered popular worldwide) is considered taboo - I just wanted people in my country to understand and learn how the Skateboarding culture is helping teens stay off the streets and helping them out in life. The world deserves to hear these small stories."
