Paris Blues in Harlem is Nadhege's award-winning short film and the anchor IP of MAAT Films. The film is rooted in Harlem's jazz legacy and honors the life of Samuel Hargress Jr. It has been picked up by African American Shorts and is slated for broadcast on major networks. The project has expanded into a documentary-style book series, children's books, school assemblies, and educational programming — with television development underway.

Paris & Pop-Pop is an intergenerational children's book series and cultural movement rooted in legacy, curiosity, and Black cultural continuity. Published titles include 'What Makes a Pop-Pop?' and 'What My Pop-Pop Means?' The series comes with QR-code-activated digital experiences and is used in school workshops, assemblies, and violence-prevention programming.

The Absolute Picture is Nadhege's newest narrative film project currently in development, centering on a foster girl who summons Black historical women ancestors to tell their truths. The film corrects erased history — including the story of Annie Malone, the first Black woman multimillionaire — and is anchored in themes of empowerment, truth, and the power of women who stand in their power. A July production shoot is in development.

Make Grandfather Great Again is a social impact initiative and nonprofit arm of the MAAT Films ecosystem. It focuses on intergenerational healing, elder mentorship, and violence prevention through community events, school assemblies, bookstore pop-ups, and cultural engagement. MGGA partners with the NYC Public Advocate's Office and operates through Fractured Atlas for tax-deductible contributions.
