About the Masterclass
Learn the Process. Build Your Voice. Tell Your Story.
This masterclass is for filmmakers who want to create bold, honest stories rooted in their own truth.
As a filmmaker trained in both film school and real-world experience, I’ve learned that storytelling is not just about technique — it’s about perspective.
Every film I’ve made — Kasala!, Otiti, When Nigeria Happens — started with a question I couldn’t ignore, a story I needed to tell.
This class is not about chasing trends or formulas.
It’s about helping you find your voice — and using your skills, your environment, and your experiences to create films that connect deeply with audiences.
