Contrary to popular opinion, the duties of an assistant director go far beyond just shouting “Quiet on set!” .
It’s about solving problems, bringing the director’s vision to life, and building an atmosphere of trust and synergy across all departments during a shoot.
For this Off Camera feature, we sit down with Mayowa Bakare, popularly known as MayBaykar, who has worked on titles like 'Shanty Town,' 'Dust to Dreams,' and 'Baby Farm,' as she breaks down what assistant directors really do to bring a story to life.
Head over to our Link In Bio to read the rest of the feature.

They say you never really understand the journey until you pause and look back… and wow, what a journey EVI has been.
From early mornings on set to the long nights, the challenges, the laughter, the lessons, every single moment poured into this film came from a place of passion, purpose, and belief. Watching it come to life on the big screen is something I don’t take for granted.
This project reminded me why I love what I do. Every scene, every take, every detail carries a piece of my heart.
To everyone who has gone out to watch EVI in cinemas, THANK YOU! Your support means more than words can express. Truly. You are part of this story.
And if you haven’t seen it yet… this is your sign. Go experience it. Go feel it. Go be a part of something special.
This is more than just a film to me and the team. It is a milestone. And we’re just getting started.
