Bio:
Ron Wyman, founder of ZeroGravity Films, creates documentaries about politics, world culture and the arts. For the past several years he has been working extensively in Africa. Having spent over three decades as a film maker, he has worked as a DP and editor on feature films, is an award winning DP/Producer of documentaries and was freelance for the CNN political division for 16 years. He has also worked for Michael Moore's "The Awful Truth", "Candid Camera" and "Politically Incorrect" with Bill Maher.
His feature documentary, "Agadez, the Music and the Rebellion" travels with Tuareg nomads of the Sahara Desert and profiles the extraordinary Tuareg guitarist, Bombino. While shooting the film, he also produced Bombino's acclaimed CD, "Agadez" which launched Bombino onto the world stage. His second CD, "Nomad" was produced by Dan Auerbach and was released on Nonesuch Records in 2013, and his latest album, "Deran", recorded in Casablanca was nominated for a 2019 Grammy.
A new film project is in development in partnership with Tunde Jegede, titled "The River Niger Project" and will explore the music culture along the Niger River and will feature many of the legendary musicians of West Africa.

- Quotes, Notes & Etc. "In Agadez, The Music And The Rebellion Ron Wyman has done an excellent job of not only depicting their life without romanticizing or sentimentalizing it, but showing what they are doing to preserve it in the face of increasingly difficult odds. Follow his camera into one of the harshest environments on earth and meet the people who not only live there, but cherish the freedom it brings them. You will also meet the remarkable musician, Omara “Bombino” Moctar, whose story of exile and return is typical for his generation, but whose talent is unique".
