This is Lagos is a feature being developed in collaboration with award-winning writer Crispin Oduobuk-MfonAbasi, based on his short story of the same name. A darkly humorous drama, the film follows Stevo, an aspiring musician who has fallen into a life of crime, Femi, a soon-t0-be-married yuppie with little interest in relinquishing his playboy lifestyle and their shared love interest Pauline, thrown in at the deep end and just hustling to survive in an unforgiving city.
A first draft of the script currently exists and a second draft is in development. To read the short-story on which the film will be based, click here.
