“While he (@Tai_Egunjobi) references the Coen Brothers occasionally, it is Yasujirō Ozu who truly shaped his sensibilities. From Ozu, he learned quietude: “Ozu and Tarkovsky taught me that the frame can be sacred.” From Quentin Tarantino, he picked up structure and tonal play.

It’s funny how the audience keeps saying filmmakers need to see the show but we’ve only had very few actors & writers actually come watch. If you’re a creative in any capacity, or you love the industry (or hate it too), you should come watch our play. We have 2 weekends to go!

A lot of good Nigerian films would still be sitting on hard drives if some people hadn’t tried to build streaming or VOD platforms. Your reaction to people building or making something can’t always be negative

Good you pointed out the fact that the audience can’t subscribe to all. Now let the streaming companies compete with the QUALITY of their content and the PRICE. I think it’s simple, let the market decide. We can’t keep saying distribution is a problem but keep talking down on

The death of stillness ensures the death of faith. And clothing the cathedral in a scanner darkly scramble (clown) suit is as atrocious, and as sacrilegious, as setting it on fire.
