A native of Ikwerre, Kester Nsirim is a Nigerian filmmaker with screen credits from writing, directing and producing for film, television and new media. Nsirim started his film career with short films and has made a total of seven shorts between 2006 and 2011of which includes BONNIE, THE INQUEST and DESTINATION RIVERS. IMPACT FILE and THE LEGEND OF RIVER ETHIOPE are Nsirim's prominent documentary titles. After a fine tutelage and amazing encounter with Hollywood filmmaker, Julie Dash and actor/director Giancarlo Esposito, Kester Nsirim made the leap at his first full length feature with the 2012 movie THE LOST NUMBER which premiered at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles and became a triple award winner at the WMIFF in Washington DC. Nsirim continued his journey with another film, THE AGGREGATOR, and other efforts in the world of tourism and music videos. KOKO: THE BOX TV is Nsirim's newest effort
Nothing can be more challenging for a filmmaker than the attempt to tell a very simple and relatable story that is at the same time very well layered to engage both the shallow and profound; a cinematic piece like a buffet or a parable for each one to take their own meaning from and read their own life into it with fine comprehension and satisfaction. KOKO: The Box TV is just that kind of cinematic piece.
