My Father’s Shadow is the first Nigerian story to be selected by the UK for submission to the Oscars for Best International Feature.

To all Nigerians who watched it in theatres: thank you. As the first country in the world to show the film widely in cinemas, our theatrical run was the qualifying run for this submission.

My Father’s Shadow is still showing in theatres in Nigeria until Thursday 16 October, so make sure you catch it while you can.

These times, because of the economic downturn, actually call for this, can’t blame a father trying to provide, so long as he makes up in other ways.

My Father’s Shadow has come home. Nigerians nationwide can now watch the film at these cinemas.

Akinola Davies Jr.’s debut follows two young brothers and their estranged father on a one-day journey across Lagos in 1993.

Nobody is more experienced than you because they have exposure that you don’t have.

Exposures are different.

Respect is reciprocal.

Until you have been exposed to everything I have been exposed to we are both experienced in our own spaces.

Peace and love.

What producers and guilds took this money!!! I sincerely hope they will not keep quiet and still pay crew peanuts with horrible set welfare!

Is there a platform that will tell us what this money will go into?

[Oluwanero @omoluwanero]

I am in an industry where film Producers and Directors are still making crew work almost 24hrs at a stretch. I feel like I have failed, It's feels like my voice is drowning. Who will save us? It doesn't seem like we want to be saved from ourselves. Welp!

[Ade Oshin Slim @adeoshinslim]

Actors must also say NO to ungodly hours on set!

Help us the crew

sometimes the set is too small and crew are hardly being paid well and usually will be bottom tier with top tier actors…

Say NO to UNPAID and uneccessary overtime

[KORA😤 @Oralusiomokola]

@adeoshinslim It's about to go down

[Ibrahim Suleiman @edomalo]

W.nergy.

[nollyworkers @nollyworkers]

no one should be working these amount of hours without guaranteed paid over time

[Oluwanero @omoluwanero]

If it's not actors dying due to avoidable anyhowness, it is crew members getting rushed to hospital on set due to exhaustion and stress. And we say we are growing as an industry. Where is the growth in operating with slavery mindset and anyhowness?

[Ade Oshin Slim @adeoshinslim]

Majority of Nollywood starters and crew now understand and see how the 12 hr clock works.

If you’re a crew member still doing 21 hrs + on set unhealthy and unpaid OT.

Please DM us the name of your producer, 1stAD and production company. @filmcrew_connect

Peace and Love ✊🏾

The littlest of intentional growth for me looks like.

I can’t stay on my phone for an hour straight.

My woman is the only woman I am with.

These 2 things stopped 4 years ago and I just noticed.

My purpose is overwhelming.
Each time I see my next feat of greatness I get anxious

I allow the anxiety without rejection

I sit in silence to picture this coming greatness

I start to feel calm as the pictures get clearer of this coming greatness

Energy transmutation complete

[Ade Oshin Slim @adeoshinslim]

I am not here to dim your light,

I am here to show you yours!

Stay Grounded you are just as great
