About
An audio-visual immersive atmos-sound designed cinema film and screening event. The story authentically tells the iconic Yoruba creation story with a new insight into the previously sidelined by storytellers but central female goddess; Olokun.
Impact
A few: give a true film experience of African and Yoruba history and heritage. It aims to promote more female representation in African folklore and historic films/stories. The nft sales of its stills will generate funds to tell more African stories
Progress
The 2024 short version has been to and won multiple local and international festivals and awards like AFRIFF, AFS also screening in LA, Ethiopia, Accra, London etc. The team and system that facilitated this with less than $500 are firmly in place.
Team
I'm a versatile creative/filmmaker preserving African heritage by telling our true stories with quality. I lead Abuja’s biggest indie creative network; “The Greatest Collective LLC” known for a female dominated lead team and a strong youth following.
