Tunde Kelani's cinema cut right into our political and socio-cultural malaise. Films like Saworo Ide, Koseegbe and Agogo Ewo asked serious questions and offered platforms for rational discourse and understanding. Brave

Opay has got bikemen using helmets, an illustration of how businesses can transform
public behaviour. We don't need big government, we need big businesses.
There's a lot we still don't know about the history of filmmaking in Nigeria.
Film: Taiwo Shango (1965)
Director: Klaus Stephan
Shot in Ilawe Ekiti and Ibadan. Co Production between NTA and German Prod Co
Information culled from

After making every film, I realize I know little and return to the books, the films, the podcasts and ask the old questions again.
You can't master cinema. You're always learning, you're always humble.
Massive love to everyone who turned up tonight for A Green Fever',s debut screening. Three halls packed to the brim 🌿🎉.
Merci!

Delighted to announce our beautiful film "Crushed Roses" 🌹 will be screening at the
@TheAfricanFilm
Festival, Dallas
Big ups to the amazing cast and crew.
This building was incomplete when I moved back to Ibadan in 2000, still is uncompleted today. A 'storey' of consistency 🙌🏼
- Emmanuel Onimisi.
Ibadan folk will recognize this building.
Jagun Jagun is great fun and has something to say about power. Lots of great performances all around and not surprised one bit; these veterans have been at it for 20-30 years, mastering the gravitas and eventually the technical scae. Interesting times for Nigerian Cinema
Decided to temporarily release our short film Crushed Roses- The Saga Of An Undefined Relationship following festival screenings throughout the year. We had such a fun time making it and glad we can finally share it for all to see!

Our film " In Ibadan" is finally getting out in the world.
It was important for us to find the right platform to share this personal love story .
We are set to premiere on Afroland Tv
@afrolandtv
on Friday (January 15th, 2021)!
Making movies is hard, but burdens are lighter when you work with a family;Been working with most of our team today for atleast a decade , some more. Grow with your people, push each other to be better and go again!
From an education standpoint, If you work in films in Nigeria-Africa, Lose yourself in Foreign cinema outside mainstream Hollywood. You're not going to pick up much watching the tentpoles and franchises. IFYKYK
In Ibadan is a work of art. Leads Temi Fosudo and Goodness Emmanuel light up their scenes with searing honesty.
Still set to Premiere on
@afrolandtv
today!
Shot our debut feature in 7 days; a real test but why not.I was DP/Camera Operator for Day 1. Our DOP was only coming off a job and couldn't join until the next day so I had to shoot. The image on the right is the result of the image on the left. Great fun 😊
Ebook filled with the original screenplay,interviews, tales, learnings,experiences and never before seen photos from our first feature film.
Very useful to first time filmmakers.

Bonjour le masi 😎
We're off to a great start this year. Our film
@Allnavibes
will be having it's World Premiere at the prestigious
@NollywoodWeek
festival in France!
Kudos to everyone who worked on this film.
Je vous remercie!
Worked with some of the best young talent in this industry on our film "In Ibadan" especially leads, Temi Fosudo and Goodness Emmanuel, supported by an incredibly young crew, average age 24, including the caterer. Proud of what we accomplished!
Truly excited about the sustained entry of Nigerian films into prestigious film festivals. These appearances aren't just individual triumphs; they're wins for the entire industry. International recognition opens doors, fosters collaborations, and elevates our narratives globally
Last night I watched Dennis Villeneuve's Dune, waited patiently to experience the film without the "hype". Understand the source material is tough but you wouldn't know it. Visually stunning and intellectually stimulating.
Best film of 2021
Working with OGs like Pappy Jyde is an honour; he's extremely professional and just all around helpful. I just love making films, even if na to carry Gen.😒

PS: Big news coming😎
Our first publication; an ebook on how we made "In Ibadan" will finally be available by January 1,2023. 🌿
We attempt to map out the entire creative and production processes-from ideation to the edit⚡
Filmmaking as diagnostic tool? I don't consider myself a particularly warm person, not a big fan of the romantic genre, but for some reason, I've actually enjoyed making stuff with that theme (Crushed Roses 2023, In Ibadan 2020).
Glad to announce that our film "All Na Vibes" has been selected to compete at the West African Edition of The Hip Hop Film Festival 2021 [

It is important to state that Nigerian Films can translate to global audiences; it is not a matter of patriotism but the outcomes of craft and continued critical success. To insist otherwise is to falsely assume we have attained craft excellence.
Writing an intense Afro-Western with Isaac, developed from a cacophony of ideas we'd been brooding on for 3 years now. Having a premise is just the start, 80% of our process is just discussing characters&where their head is per time and what they should be doing.
Been working with a stellar crew for some months now; developing and eventually shooting this picture. Looking forward to great performances and more importantly,a life changing story telling experience.

Appreciating the faces of our humble film All Na Vibes. Thanks for bringing your gifts.Let's keep streaming and talking about All Na Vibes. Bless⚡

Some shameless self promotion, I enjoy a variety of film roles; acting, art direction, cinematography and directing, but the hardest bit has always been screenwriting, but I've managed to rack up some writing credits in TV and film.
There is nothing wrong with making Popcorn films, poorly referred to as "commercial films". They require a fair amount of talent, strategy and a sprinkling of luck to make them over and over. It is also art. It should be taken more seriously
Film titles are key. The first audience contact point or in some cases, studio execs. In a crowded marketplace, titles must create memorability and pack the artistic -thematic-genre energy of the film.
Underrated aspect of filmmaking.
I don't know a lot, but I teach a small screenwriting class every now and then. I find that students who had books growing up, watched better films and went to better Pry. schools immediately wrote better than sometimes more imaginative but averagely educated peers.
Reading texts, watching essays and loading up on podcasts are fine ways to acquire information and knowledge about the craft, but it can in itself become an aesthetic replacement for action. The final phase of education is received on the road; in the process of doing.
