As an enthusiast of stories, I have found that stories traverse mediums, moving from poems and songs to books, from films to the stage, and so on. Ideally, a story seems unlimited; it breathes where it wills. Being a multimedia storyteller, I am afforded a few luxuries: I can pick and choose which medium suits a story best.
I practise written, visual and digital storytelling, with a keen interest in transmedia storytelling—a narrative across various platforms.

“It’s official, I have said goodbye to the 20-Film-Portfolio. I am building a new film portfolio, with new partners and collaborations, drawing on my eight years of film work to create a fresh collection of films.
Let’s see how much I have learnt thus far.”

Through media and mentorship support, Nekh volunteers for Animal Activists Kenya, they support conservation initiatives across Kenya, preserving wildlife and natural habitats while empowering communities.
In May 2025, Sandra Nekh launched her psychological thriller novel, No Saints. As part of the performative reading of the book, there was a captivating dance performance — a sensual interpretation of “Because I Love” by Kaz Hawkins, performed through Kenyan ballet dancer by Kate Nyaikamba.
We obtained permission from Mz. Hawkins, which was a significant achievement for my team and me, and we were thrilled to share the video afterward. With the creative support of Sogalo, a Kenyan multimedia artist, we crafted this artistic blend of music, cinematic excellence, and expressive movement. Second camera, Dishon from Great Films.
