On Our Skin
In a world where knowledge is controlled, students become unwitting vessels of resistance. As banned books vanish, their words reappear as ghostly inscriptions on the bodies of the young, a supernatural rebellion against the forces of censorship.

ADEJO EMMANUEL (STORY PRIEST) is a reality thief, talented screenwriter, director, and filmmaker who is heavily influenced by the works of Ousamane Sembene(Senegal), Akira Kurosawa (Japan), Abbas Kiaroastami(Iran), Alejandro innarito (Brazil). The sole goal of Storypriest is to create and tell stories that feel like art pieces and accurately reflect the realities of our current society. With over 30 TV screenwriting credits, including production on ROK Studios,African Movie Channel (AMCC), and African Magic originals, Story Priest's debut as a director with his Ebony Life Creative Academy (ELCA)-sponsored short film "People's Court" solidifies his position and perspective as a reality centered film maker.
'On Our Skin' is a film that demands to be made with urgency, care, and a profound understanding of the depth of human connection. In a world where societal norms and expectations often dictate what constitutes 'ideal' human relationships and emotions, I believe we risk sacrificing the true essence of connection.
As a filmmaker, I feel a deep responsibility to challenge these norms and to create a space where authentic human experiences can be shared and celebrated. 'On Our Skin' is a testament to the transformative power of vulnerability, empathy, and compassion.
By sharing this story, I hope to inspire audiences to reevaluate their own understanding of human connection and to embrace the beauty of imperfection, complexity, and individuality. It is only by embracing our true selves and each other that we can foster a deeper sense of community, understanding, and love.
