Director Statement

Obhi ede is a deep story, inspired by true life events. I was born and raised in Esan, Edo state, the south-southern part of Nigeria.
whatever you will see when the complete obhi ede series is released is far from fiction or fantasy, its a selective compilation of actual experiences of persons I know and grew up with who had to combat or navigate around the highly spiritually charged path of being an obhi ede.
This short was done with no professional lights, all sunlight and practical lights in doors.
we shot on the Blackmagic PCC 6k pro taking advantage of its dual native iso and post production was exclusively done on Davinci Resolve.
We're currently trying to raise funds for the full Obhi ede series.
