Up North
““Up North breaks new grounds for its thematic sagacity, its visual spectacle, and the sheer breadth of its canvas but most especially for having a sitting governor play a cameo. This is a movie conceived on an epic scale and when I say epic I mean it not in a Nollywood sense but in the true sense of the word – large, grand, sweeping, and spectacular.”
– The Lagos Review
Up North follows the journey of Bassey Otuekong, portrayed by Bankole ‘Banky W’ Wellington, a privileged and rebellious heir who undergoes a transformative experience when he is sent by his father, Chief Otuekong (played by Kanayo O. Kanayo), to Bauchi for his compulsory national service year. The intention behind sending him to Bauchi is to discipline him and expose him to the realities of life outside his sheltered existence, thereby preparing him to take over the family business eventually.
In Bauchi, Bassey encounters a new environment that challenges his preconceived notions and forces him to confront his own shortcomings. Through friendships forged, love discovered, and a newfound passion, Bassey undergoes significant personal growth, evolving into a man his father would be proud of.

Fishbone
“Fishbone’ does a good job of tackling the issue of drug counterfeiting, through the lens of its victims and perpetrators. Set in one of Lagos’ finest slums, Makoko, the film also manages to touch briefly on life in low-income communities and how their talents are exploited by the high and mighty in society.” – Native Mag

The Setup 1
“The Set Up is a good movie that lived up to the hype. The movie in itself is a high-octane story with several episodes embedded. All the characters felt like the main characters in the movie.
It has a strong rewatch value and definitely earned all the money it did during its cinema run. The Set Up’s biggest win is its cinematography. It’s a great story that comes together well enough to leave a good memory.” – Talku Talku Magazine
