“SuperNowa” has been out in the world for 10 days, and it’s currently the second most-watched film on Prime Video Nigeria. Unreal.
.
So much love and heart went into making this, and I hope you can feel it when you watch. If you’ve seen it, please share your favourite (spoiler-free) moment(s).

SUPERNOWA, is out now on Prime, globally. Mad. xx
Yesterday I hosted a small screening to celebrate the release of my first feature film, SuperNowa (out now on Prime Video). I’ve seen the film an insane amount of times already but seeing it with an audience was so special, it felt new to me again. Huge thanks to everyone who: has watched, shared, even just talked about the film. Please keep it going. Thank you. SUPERNOWA IS FINALLY HERE!

Pleased to share that two of my babies, “I AM AN EASY ONE TO FORGET,” and “Àlááfíà Ni”, which I co-directed alongside its creator, @tobionabolu , will premiere this evening (and will screen again on the 11th) at the 27th Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur. Both these films are reflections of my current mental and physical states, and I’m sure those of many others. These two were my first and second attempts at directing and I am proud of what we achieved. I thank my wonderful collaborators for helping birth these beauties. If you’re in town, go see them, and all the great films in programme. Love always. 🫶🏾🎉
Àlááfíà Ni will screen at the 27th Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur in Switzerland this November.
Right now, with so many concurrent wars, genocides, and continued systemic oppression, the Yorùbá concept of àlááfíà (loosely translated as inner-peace and well-being) feels pertinently urgent.
For those of us in relative safety, how can we be responsible with our privileges, to embody balance, peace, and spiritual ease, in our behaviours and actions?
What will it take, for us collectively, and on a planetary level, to return to and vibrate towards the frequency of àlááfíà?
