Twist
If you want to enjoy this film or this story, give both parts of Twist a miss. Please, pretend it doesn’t exist and get on with Awake. You will thank me if you ever watch Twist. The trailer is sufficient in revealing enough information about the characters so just ...

In The Spotlight: Deyemi Okanlawon
The short film ‘blink’ went around most Nigerian social media spheres. Some people liked it, some people loved it; those seemed to have been the only to two sides to the reaction for the short film, with more people in the latter than in the former. Asid...
