As you may or may not know, I’m an ethnographic filmmaker with a passion for telling African stories that would otherwise not be heard or seen. In 2016, I released my debut documentary film, Something New in Old Town. It has played at film festivals in the USA, Switzerland and Nigeria, where last year, it won the best documentary film at the inaugural Lekki International Film Festival in Lagos.
