LATENT NAIJA 012

LAST TO CLOSE.

A young woman is alone in a store after closing time when she realizes she may not be alone after all.
A 30-second Nigerian horror short set in an ordinary shop after dark, where the lights go out, something moves in the aisles, and the final few seconds become very unpleasant.
Short-form horror.

BEAT THE TRAFFIC.

A high-octane, 2D animated short following a paperboy on a bicycle racing against the clock through the chaotic streets of Lagos. Dodging yellow and weaving through bumper-to-bumper gridlock, and leaping over roadside stalls, he’ll do whatever it takes to get the morning edition delivered on time.

Maximum speed.
