A JOURNEY OF PATIENCE AND PROGRESS:
It was nine years ago when the visionary director Kunle Afolayan gathered a cadre of creatives and scholars like, writer Tunde Babalola, Professor Tunji Azeez, Ropo Ewenla and others at his house in Lagos then in the heart of Ibadan.
The mission: A brainstorming session for a series titled “ODU,” envisioned as an epic saga set in the Oyo Empire, akin to the Game of Thrones.
An idea was born, but the timing was not yet ripe.
Reflecting on those years, it becomes apparent that the gestation period, the patience, and the wait were all integral elements of a process that birthed something extraordinary.
If “Anikulapo” had seen the light all those years ago, we might not have beheld the magic that graces our screens today.
ANIKULAPO – A CINEMATIC SYMPHONY:
Anikulapo emerged precisely when it was destined to, a manifestation of patience and the alignment of cosmic forces.
The multiple awards movie has now metamorphosed into a series— “Rise of the Spectre.” The journey has been an emotional one woven with passion, perseverance, and the unwavering belief that art is a journey, not just a destination.
Anikulapo-Rise Of The Spectre will launch in 190 countries globally on Netflix on March 1st.
