THE GREAT CLOCK OF 1882
After 139 years, a comet with the power to manipulate time and space passes by earth, bringing nothing but chaos.
This is a Sci-fi Film based on a real life comet: THE GREAT COMET OF 1882.
​
The Great Comet of 1882 formally designated C/1882 R1, 1882 II, and 1882b, was a comet which became very bright in September 1882. It was a member of the Kreutz Sungrazers, a family of comets which pass within 1 R☉ of the Sun's photosphere at perihelion. The comet was bright enough to be visible next to the Sun in the daytime sky at its perihelion. The comet made its closest approach to Earth on 16 September 1882 at 0.99 AU and then came to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) the next day on 17 September.
​
I fell in love with the stories of this comet and decided to add more to it. I gave this comet the power to manipulate time in destructive ways. This comet affected people in September 1882 and after 760 years it is back on September 2021 to bring chaos (but wait, 1882 isn't 760 years ago).
This Film is a fraction to the comet's true powers. Hope you enjoy.

ORISON
As he stands on the brink of despair, a devoted Christian's fervent prayer for an immediate miracle is mysteriously answered, blurring the boundaries between divine intervention and otherworldly consequences.
​
Jealously is a nasty flaw. It's the cause of a lot of problems on this earth. It has ended friendships, and even ended lives. Isn't it scary that the Christian God, who is known to hold all the power is the universe, has such flaws? Well, it terrifies me, so I wrote about it.
“If there is a God, He will have to beg my forgiveness.” — A phrase that was carved on the walls of a concentration camp cell during WWII by a Jewish prisoner. I felt the pain in these words and used them to built the character you now see.
Enjoy.

silence of music
In a small estate that exists somewhere if not everywhere is a girl struggling with the thought of suicide when her reality breaks into two, one on pills and one of music.
​
The noise we seek to escape can be everywhere, even in the most quiet of places. Silence isn't a place, but a state of mind. There are many ways to achieve this silence and one of them is through... art.
If you are struggling with these noises, hope this film gives you an idea on how to find the silence.
Enjoy.

THE GREAT CLOCK OF 1882
OLD VERSION
After 139 years, a comet with the power to manipulate time and space passes by earth bringing nothing but chaos.
​
I decided to make a zero budget Sci-fi short film based on THE GREAT COMET OF 1882.
​
I fell in love with the stories of this comet and decided to add more to it. I gave this comet the power to manipulate time in destructive ways. This comet affected people in September 1882 and after 760 years it is back on September 2021 to bring chaos. And this short film is a fraction to the comet's true powers. Hope you enjoy.

Sharper Tool
If there is a script that I'm often asked to explain and I refuse to most of the time is this film.
The idea for this film came when I enrolled for #Bomoaukuta mobile film competition. The theme for the competition was (usually is) about break out of metaphorical walls in our lives. So, I jumped to the idea of "women empowerment." All i needed to do is write about a lady who breaks free of the limitations of being a housewife(or housemaid, since I never specified that in the film), right?
When I wrote the script I didn't write it from character, or plot, I simply thought of the theme and subconsciously wrote from a feeling I had about the story. That's why this film lacks character backstory and plot. It's simply an experience that existed on theme alone.
​
This is my first film.
