He has genuinely welcomed people into his world. Our partnership originated from my recent trip to the United States, where I attended a creative programme backed by the US Consulate in Nigeria.“We visited Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Virginia, and Atlanta, connecting with industry stakeholders and discussing film.
Afolayan noted that 20 young filmmakers were selected for the hands-on training, focusing on building their storytelling and technical skills. Afolayan described Reel Circle as a film club that fosters community among young filmmakers while preserving Nigeria’s cinematic history.
