DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
I want to tell African stories and take indigenous narrative perspectives to a global audience. Eje is a creative concoction of fiction, myth, fact, and my narrative imagination on the RH negative debate. I’ve created an expandable world with subliminal messaging on the duality of culture, societal beliefs, science and religion.
