The film was required to be emotional and heartfelt, targeting parents and guardians. I was responsible for all concepts, script-writing, filming, editing and promotion of the relaunch film.

To create a brand new identity for Kodo Creative, I was responsible for casting all direction, setting objectives and deadlines, and giving feedback to the graphic designer, Jaeda Abraham.

SARGE.

Published in The Collective Quarterly magazine 2017

 

A 73-year old retired welder, Sarge is a well-respected man in the Dairen community, known for his compassion and generosity. Despite his age, Sarge continues to do part-time welding work out of his shed, purely so that black & white men of the community can have a safe place to unite together under one roof.

Richard is a local resident in Darien, Georgia. "I've been in this town for 30 years. Right here. Always somewhere in the house," he said. Having worked in Brunswick building components for aircraft carriers with the Department of Defence, Richard retired his 30 year job and decided to work out of home. "I did that for 30 years. I enjoyed the work; real skilled work. A lot of welding. I left there, retired really, and I started doing the Lord’s [work] and here I am." Richard served in the Vietnam War as a Sargent; and is now known by the community as Sarge.

Having worked in Brunswick building components for aircraft carriers with the Department of Defence, Sarge retired his 30 year job and decided to work out of home, doing part time welding work. Whilst he continues to enjoy welding, his main love is seeing the men of the community unite together under his roof.

“I did that for 30 years. I enjoyed the work; real skilled work. A lot of welding. I left there, retired really, and I started doing the Lord’s [work] and here I am.”

Sarge and neighbour, Richard, are seen exchanging home-grown corn.

“It’s just what we do here. I’ll go into Richard’s yard and take what I need, and he will come into my yard and take what he needs. We just help each other around here. It’s the way it is. We family,” his neighbour said.

“There’s a little tension still in this town, oh yeah. The older people are still holding on to the past. You know, there are still memories. But they really don’t bother me.

I’ve got a lot of white friends. As a matter of fact, they come by almost every day. We just sit and chat and have a lot of fun.

“As soon as I finish work, I come over here. We just hang out. I love it. Whether it’s been a good day or hard day, I just come on over to Richard’s. I’m here all the time.
I wouldn’t be anywhere else. “

- Richard, Sarge’s neighbour

“I have a white friend, and we were in Vietnam together. In the war together. We got out in ‘69. And you know, there wouldn’t be a day pass where he don’t call me. He lives about 45 minutes away from here, but if I tell him to come right now, he’d be on his way. And we’ve been doing that since ’69.

I was his Sargent.”

“If I could give one piece of advice...One word. Just one word. Love.

I don’t have any animosity towards nobody. I help a person out. This is my way. You just help them out. I really think I am doing something to restore trust. Everybody comes and sees me one day. .”
