Over 20 years ago, I started my cinephile journey in awe of my Criterion Kurosawa DVD box set—it felt like a piece of art.
To see my own micro-budget film streaming on @criterionchannl now is completely surreal. Still processing. Grateful to everyone on this journey. Love.

Nollywood needs people willing to experiment, take risks and build distinct creative identities instead of chasing sameness every time.

Oge Obasi’s @simplyoge work feels intentional in a way that stands out immediately. The storytelling choices, the atmosphere, the visual language; everything feels well thought out and considered.
