My short film Aissa's Story will be screening at 3:00PM on November 11 at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) in Calabar, Nigeria.
Back in 2010, I attended the first AFRIFF as a patron, when it was just a modest gathering of film lovers and practitioners in that dusty, would-be-great-if-it-weren't-so-dry-and-congested town of Port Harcourt.
I could never have imagined then the heights the festival would grow to now, calling Tinapa Film Village in Calabar, Cross River State, home. Last year I met more Nollywood stars there than I could count (or even name), met many of my director idols (Balufu Bakupu-Kanyinda, Kunle Afolayan, and Michelle Bello among them), saw a World Cup qualifying football match, and was generally so impressed that I decided to submit my work this year.
