One of the ways I'd like to be remembered is as a storyteller who stalks the human experience, deliberately telling empowering stories about subjects that actually matter.
OtoObong Ekpenyong is Managing Producer at his independently run OE Production Company - whose stated mission is to empower clients tell and share stories in meaningful ways. He holds a Bachelor of Art in Christian Education and was one of 18 African filmmakers trained at Montana State University (MSU)’s Social Justice Documentary Filmmaking Workshop in Bozeman with funding by Ford Foundation.
An ardent storyteller and thought leader in storytelling, ‘Owwteebee’ started out producing award-winning advocacy shorts and human-interest documentaries that has screened and enjoyed critical acclaim across the globe.
