A coming-of-age music and dance video that has to hit home with any Bermudian that has left the rock in search of artistic, spiritual or personal growth. Choreographed by and featuring Malachi Simmons and his dance troupe to the sound of Shakka’s 2013 hit “Sooner or Later” it begins with a home video of his parents on their wedding day, September 29, 1990. We are instantly captivated and drawn into this magical love story through their interaction on camera and the words of his bemused father as he ties his tie in final preparation before they tie the knot; “and you made me think I’m not good at thinking … because the thoughts of man are mere vanity in the sights of the most high!” Through more home-video flashes we see the couple’s idyllic Bermudian life continuing through light-hearted days of boating and dancing. But for the next generation, strange and unexpected currents are circling the sandy shores of Bermuda and they come to light in Malachi’s introspective writings. Addiction, depression, loneliness, selfishness … Laden with this personal baggage Malachi has to leave the rock in search of something more, in search of his purpose ….
10 years ago two things happened…. My dad passed away suddenly and I left my tiny home of Bermuda to pursue a career in performing arts. At 18 years of age I was on a search for identity and 10 years later I was married. Here is my journey…. M.S -Sept 20, 2021-
Love is patient Love is kind, it does not envy. It does not boast, it is not proud. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. – 1 Corinthians 13 1

This feature length film captures and documents the ongoing history of the Bermuda Gombeys, one of Bermuda’s oldest Folklife traditions. Running 88 minutes in total it was designed to supplement Bermuda’s education system; its narrative chapters split into detailed sections covering every aspect of the Gombey culture, instruments, dance, costumes, training, history and traditions.
Synopsis: Historically, the Gombeys were not viewed as a respectable art form by the island’s ruling class. Slaves were allowed to dance only once a year and did so in masks in order to protest, without fear of retribution, the injustices done them by their slave masters. Incorporating elements of African, Native American, Caribbean and British cultures the Gombeys have evolved into the colorful, uniquely Bermudian art form beloved by locals and tourists alike. From archival texts and insights of our foremost historians to the memories of the oldest living Gombey Masters, from the hearts and minds of today’s Captains to the youngest Gombeys carrying the tradition into the future; Behind the Mask explores the past, the present and the future of this proud and resilient heritage, and is a celebration of all these exceptional Bermudian tradition-bearers.
Directed and Produced by Adrian Kawaley-Lathan. Trailer edited by Director of Photography Kalilah Robinson. IMDB: imdb.com/title/tt1261412/
