Intro

Mona Lisa — Writer, Creator, Founder of Monalisa Creative Studios.

Mona Lisa is a Zimbabwean-born storyteller dedicated to creating original films and television series that center African voices, history, mythology, and global human experiences. Her work blends emotional truth with cinematic vision, offering stories that resonate across borders and generations.

Personal Vision Statement

I believe stories can heal, confront, and reveal the parts of ourselves we often leave unspoken.
Stories are keys — ancient, spiritual, transformative. They unlock memory. They unlock courage. They unlock truth.

The emblem of my studio, the key, symbolizes this calling:
to open doors that lead back to identity, heritage, healing, and destiny.

Every world I build, every character I write, is crafted with the intention to unlock something —
a forgotten history, a buried emotion, a possibility waiting patiently inside us.

Through Monalisa Creative Studios, my mission is to bring forth stories that open the soul,
honoring African roots while speaking to universal human experience.

What I Create

My body of work spans:

Short films
Television series
African mythology & fantasy
Historical and colonial-era dramas
Spiritual and reincarnation narratives
Futuristic and philosophical fiction

Across every genre, my focus remains constant:
to tell stories of depth, courage, and transformation.

Featured Works

My original projects include:

Left Behind — A short film based on true events about a Zimbabwean boy left alone after losing his entire family to the realities of migration.
The Scepter — An epic African fantasy series rooted in mythology, destiny, and ancestral power.
Fields of Red Earth — A colonial-era historical drama about forbidden love, land, and resilience.
Nature’s Son — A reincarnation saga following one soul across centuries of American history.
The Founder’s Table — A near-future anthology imagining the resurrection of history’s greatest thinkers to solve today’s global crises.

Each story is crafted with intention, emotional honesty, and cinematic depth.

Studio Mission

Monalisa Creative Studios exists to create work that is truthful, meaningful, and culturally resonant.
We focus on African-rooted narratives, global themes, and character-driven storytelling. Our goal is to build a body of work that entertains, educates, and uplifts, while building bridges between the past, present, and future.
