I’m Langston Sessoms, a Brooklyn director. I make branded films the way I make my own shorts: real people, real stakes, a story worth finishing. I develop the idea, pitch it and direct it to the final cut.

Where I started:
the shorts.

The Fall, with Conway the Machine, played DC Shorts and NY Shorts in 2025 and the Pan African and Coney Island film festivals in 2026. Every brand film I make starts the same way: a person, what they want, and what’s in the way.
