Director Statement

Arodan is a story that is dear to me, as a kid growing up in Lagos, a culture I am very familiar with because I experienced it. Its a culture of sending an obedient boy on an endless errand just for the parents to have a moment of peace, bringing that into horror was exciting enough and I couldn't be more proud about the output.
