Hello Fam!!!

As you know by now, I love to share the little knowledge and experience I have, I do enjoy talking about producing, sharing what worked and what didn’t for me and Being part of the Accelerate Filmmaker Project 2026 @accelerate_tv It was such a fulfilling experience! And what makes this edition even more special is that it marks their 10th year! 🎉

I had such a great time facilitating sessions on producing, sharing insights, and engaging with the filmmakers. Having been part of this journey across so many editions and watching several past participants go on to do amazing things in the industry has been truly rewarding.

I also had the privilege of being one of the judges for the physical pitches, helping select the 5 projects that will go on to be made into short films. I can’t wait to see these stories come to life on screen! Congratulationss to our top 5 Filmmakers, can’t wait to watch their final films 👌🏽

A huge congratulations to the entire team behind the Accelerate Filmmaker Project for ten years of creating opportunities, nurturing talent, and investing in the future of filmmaking, to the visionary behind it, the Queen @colette_osibo and her entire AFMP 2026 team. Here’s to many more years of inspiring stories and extraordinary filmmakers!

Thank you so much for having me on this one @colette_osibo @tolu.ajayi2 ❤️

It was so much fun doing pitching day judging team with @babatopeseyi @mrxavierighorodje @seunbabalola_ @tolu.ajayi2 @colette_osibo .

Congratulationsssssss to all the participants of AFMP 2026, Congratulations to the top 15 that got to Pitch and Congratulations to the top 5. Congratulations to all the students that are a member of the Producers Circle, so Proud of you 💃🏽 To all of you THE JOURNEY CONTINUES so don’t stop, you have only just started 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

DAY 12: THE STORIES WERE HEARD.

Welcome back #AFMP2026 fans… And just like that, two weeks of the Accelerate Filmmaker Project came down to one final day.

After days of learning from some of the industry’s best, our 15 selected filmmakers stepped forward to pitch the stories they had worked so hard to develop.

There were nerves. There was excitement. There were stories that stayed with you.

And at the end of it all, five stories were selected:

Discarded
My Chicken
The Last Tickets
Aremu
Too Late

We also want to appreciate our judges @babatopeseyi , @seunbabalola_ , @judithaudu and @tolu.ajayi2 , our project lead, for giving each filmmaker their time, attention and honest perspective throughout the final pitches.

To every filmmaker who stood up and told their story… keep going. This may be the end of AFMP 2026, but it is certainly not the end of your journey.

Now, we want to know… which story are you looking forward to seeing come to life?
