Uduak Etukudo is a Nigerian Director and producer. He had his bachelors degree from Bowen University where he studied Mass communication. He then went on to earn graduate degrees in Journalism and Project management from Australia’s Griffith University and Bond University respectively. In A Jungle is his first film Production and he hopes to birth more authentic universal stories on every screen possible.
With an academic background in Communications and Journalism, I believe the media is supposed to mirror the society we live in, educate and empower its audience. I want to be able to always present my audience with powerful messages via films.
Most individuals see street kids as thieves and a menace to the society but I decided to tell this story from a street kids' point of view. The aim was to make the common man understand that these kids are exposed to all sorts of dangers as clearly shown in the movie.
