“I’m not a technical crazy. It takes a very long time before I get interested in a new camera, because what’s the difference — I have to light the scene anyway, I have to use my own brain and my taste and my personality — that doesn’t change.”-- Robby Müller NSC, BVK
I came up with an idea - FAREWELL, directed it, shot by one of Nigeria’s best DoPs - @njoku_samuel_kehinde , edited and colored by myself for @phoenixproject_ng and @smc_pau .
Watch out for our collaboration (🔥 and 🧊) soon.
“FAREWELL” and “Shadows of the foundry” are coming.
THAT SHOULDER is a short film that gently explores the emotional sacrifices made within true friendship. It reminds us that the phrase “a shoulder to cry on” isn’t just poetic—it often comes with weight. And still, the shoulder shows up… without complaint.
Watch out..

Every frame you see in a film has hours, sometimes days, sometimes months, sometimes years behind it. Whatever time is behind it, what's most important is that you dont just shoot a scene, "MAKE IT BREATHE!"

Wrapped up an incredible #ArriExperience session @bhsff_ . I had the privilege of sharing my insights and expertise on the Arri Alexa Mini with a talented group of filmmakers.
From the camera's impressive sensor, 14+ stops of dynamic range to its seamless integration with post-production workflows. We dived into the details of what makes the Alexa Mini a top choice for filmmakers.
Thanks to everyone who attended and participated in the season! I'm thrilled to have shared my passion for @arri cameras with you all. Special thanks to @highpriestofcinematographers of @nexthoughtmedia for equipment support. Huge props to my gaffer @silhouttepictures , a MASTER of lighting!
Stay tuned for more upcoming events and workshops! #Arri #AlexaMini #Filmmaking #Workshop #Event #bhsff
