MY SHOES, YOUR FEET | ABUBAKAR SALIM | RSA FILMS x SURGENT STUDIOS

Many of you have noticed that Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is supported by Ridley Scott Associates. Today I’m proud to reveal what that means.
Over the past few months, I’ve written and directed my first short film with the support and guidance of RSA Films.
It tells the real story behind ZAU, showing how hard it is to reach out. To try to connect to others while you’re going through it. To make the choice to be seen.
I’m honoured to share this piece of myself with you now. It’s the ideal primer for Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, and it’s my love letter to my father and to everyone out there who holds the pain of loss in their heart.

Abubakar Salim might be one of the greatest artists of this generation. Everything in this video has hit me like a nuclear bomb. I cannot wait to see what his game is gonna tell us.
I recently lost my Dad this March and I am still processing it. Thank you for sharing your story as helps me heal on my journey as well.
This is so profound and beautiful. I cannot wait to play Zau, and the honour those who are no longer with us.
Great work Abu! You are loved, this is a beautiful tribute and we can't wait to play your game!
Lost my pops in 2017 I Still see an smell him at times appreciate your stories of the past
Thank you for letting us into this very real part of your life and sharing that in such a meaningful way.
This is beyond powerful. It reaches so far. This is a timeless moment. Thank you for this.
You lift up so many with your journey, Abubakar Salim. Thank you for sharing this with us. From one African son to another, I feel what you intended us to feel; the weight of what your Baba meant to you.
Incredibly moving piece. Looking forward to playing the game.
Absolutely beautiful. My mom died four years ago and I still don't think I've fully processed it. I admit, I'm envious that you've been able to make your game, but I say that from a place of admiration. The game looks brilliant and I will absolutely be buying and playing it. Congratulations and good luck on the rest of development!
Loved Abus work on Raised by Wolves as Father, excited to see how this game pans out especially coming from such a genuinely heartfelt place, Hoping it does well and gets well deserved attention.
Thank you for this ❤️🙏🏼
I don't care what the game is.. I mean I will find it and look for it, that's not what I mean by "I don't care" .. it's this celebration of family, this respect in loss in .. I can bet my last drop of water in the desert Abubakar has things about his dad that frustrated him to no end... but... this is family, this is celebration, and healthy greif and beautiful. I wish him success not just for his respect, or understanding but clear passion the world needs more of. Simple self expression that isn't in defiance of tradition or some standards and if it's profitable/marketable... but just because it is.
Oh, this was so good and emotional... Abu, you did so, so well!
Absolutely amazing! Your daughter will love this as she gets older to see how much you love her and how much you loved your dad. I started crying when you said she would point and say Babu. The energy of those lost are never really gone and sometimes we can still recognize it in the world. Beautiful work, Abu ❤
I almost cried man. This was beautiful
This was a deeply moving and powerful tribute. Thank you for sharing and I hope to play your game soon 💜
Thank you, looking Forward to this game!
Chills. So much vulnerability, perfectly expressed and beautifully presented ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this, thank you for sharing with us this personal journey, and allow us to experience it through your game. Can't Wait, you have a big fan here Abubakar ❤ keep doing your thing
You are truly the greatest hero of our age
Outstanding work. Got me very emotional as I've lost in the same way, and my main motivation to become an indie developer is inspired by my love of gaming which my parents supported.
Thank you for sharing your story through this short film, and through the game. I can’t wait to play it
Finally I get to watch this!
❤
This is beautiful Abubakar. Can't wait to play your game.
I Watch this all the way through, but it was very hard, because I know exactly what he was feeling. I tried so hard to not allow tears to roll down my face watching this but I couldnt help it. Thank you for your story.
This looks good!!!❤
Thank you for sharing your journey. I cannot wait to experience the story.
I see you. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. I consider this a beautiful gift. Pondered much of the same in my life. You've expressed it so eloquently. Looking forward to your artful expression.
Loss of a parent, or guardian, may hit us in many ways, shapes, and forms. Even just the thought of it… I just hope I can be as strong as you are about it, when the day comes. 🙏🏿🖤
Loved this mini documentary. Thank you for sharing, Abubakar.
Incredibly moving video!
This is so beautiful. You know he sees it and he's proud. ♥
❤❤❤
Lost my dad when I was 17. Ten years ago. This game is going to hit hard ain't it?
You made your Baba proud
Thank you for sharing.
This is beautiful ❤ Abubakr WE NEED A BAYEK SEQUEL as an Egyptian AC fan this game was a dream come true we need a bayek sequel he has soooooo much potential
❤😍👍
❤✊🏾
Im getting strong Lord of The Rings "superfans" feeling. Anyone else?
You can leave Abubakar Salim!! The game ´´Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU´´ will be honored and played with tribute to your father, I will make each video one more top than the other. Family is family when we lose a very important member, a piece leaves us and we are left with a void. Together with my brother ´´Abubakar Salim´´!!👍🏻❤🥰
