POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Benin City has been home to me for almost a decade. It’s where I’ve learned, grown, built relationships, and made films that have taken me to places I never imagined.
 
As I prepare to begin a new chapter and leave the city I’ve called home for so long, I want to give back in one of the best ways I know how: sharing what I’ve learned about filmmaking.

This October, I’ll be hosting THE LAST CUT, a 3-day documentary filmmaking class in Benin City.
We’ll explore everything from the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking to storytelling, pre-production, cinematography, editing, and distribution opportunities. I’ll also be sharing practical lessons from my own filmmaking journey, including the challenges, mistakes, and experiences that have shaped my work.

Whether you’re an aspiring filmmaker, a creative storyteller, or someone who’s always wanted to bring a story to life, I’d love to have you join me.
📍 Benin City, Edo State
📅 October 28–30, 2026

I’ve spent years telling stories in and beyond this city. Before I leave, I’d love to help a few more people begin telling theirs.

Let’s make something worth remembering. ❤️

We are honored and excited to introduce the 2026 NeXt Doc Fellows — 12 emerging nonfiction storytellers whose work reflects our continued commitment to the possibilities of global solidarity, and reminds us that storytelling remains one of the most vital tools we have for building community and challenging dominant narratives, as well as a critical space for creating new artistic forms of understanding.

Their work spans borders, identities, histories, cultures and cinematic approaches, reflecting the depth and complexity of this moment while pointing us toward more expansive vision of our desired futures. We look forward to supporting their creative growth, deepening their connections to one another, and witnessing the bold and transformative stories they will bring into the world.

As NeXt Doc continues to grow as an international community of artists, mentors, and collaborators, we are honored to welcome these 12 dynamic storytellers into the fellowship!
