A cosmic rebellion rooted in the Caribbean, forged in Amsterdam.

Hiphop by nature.
Cosmic by design.

I am Gerald Vreden, author, director and mythmaker. I build cinematic universes
rooted in Afro-Caribbean heritage, street born experience and ancestral memory, designed for books, screens and shared cultural space. These are not just stories. They are worlds to step into.
