Not a fan of people telling journalists who just lost their jobs, ājust start a substack,ā or ālearn new skills,ā or āmake your own opportunities.ā As if this was a personal failure and not the result of the ruling class decimating media for their own benefit.

Iām here to announce the last and final workshop Iāll host. Itās impossible to teach everything Iāve learned so far, but I will give lectures that break down fundamentals like character (growth & arc), theme, structure, sentence, and introduce you to theories of mine.

This carries weight for me. I have a brother who stands as a warrior against the ceaseless affliction of sickle cell and we always discuss how there's such a paucity of films about the bleakness of SCD without the tacit stigma and ostracization.

Guy, please I need your help.
I want to get my short film to 20k views by the end of this month.
It is 5mins long. It doesnāt require much.
Please all you have to do is retweet and watch.
Itās a really good short.

Young Nigerian Filmmakers Interrogate the National Audiovisual Archive
What happens when filmmakers are given direct access to the archives that hold Nigeriaās film history?
āPost Memory, Post Archive,ā a year-long fellowship designed by Oluwadara Omotoso and Ese Emmanuel and supported by Goethe-Institut Nigeria, brought 11 young filmmakers into contact with fragile collections across Jos, Ibadan, and Abuja.
They visited the National Film, Video and Sound Archives, the National Library, the Institute of African Studies, and Demas Nwokoās New Culture Studios, and produced 11 new shorts in response. The works explore erased queer histories, the role of mother tongues, womenās lives in domestic space, FESTAC ā77, Yoruba storytelling, Lagos public commons, agricultural memory, colonial legacies, and more.
The program culminated in August 2025 with public screenings at the Nigerian Film Corporation in Lagos.
@SeyiVortex captured it all in an in-depth piece for Akoroko that Premium subscribers received.

Not a glowing review, but art sparks different feelings in different people. Iām proud of what we made, the risks we took, and the conversations itās starting. Growth lives in both the praise and the critique. #PLSRT
