Award before the award 😆😆😆 spent an amazing night with the Icons in the Nigeria film industry @africamagic @AMVCA ICONS NIGHT

What started as an idea became a room full of light, passion, hunger, talent, laughter, learning, and community.
We planned for 35 people.
Almost 70 showed up.
The hall was full. The energy was louder than we imagined. And somehow, it still felt like there was room for more.

Gaffers Lab was more than a workshop. It was proof that there is a generation of lighting professionals across Africa who are ready to learn, grow, collaborate, and take up space.

To every facilitator @clarenceshotit @matolight @ericadhayes @stanley_ibegbu who poured out knowledge, every sponsor @nexthoughtstudio @lightscameradiaspora who believed in the vision, every crew member who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, every media team member, and every single attendee who showed up with passion and openness…THANK YOU!!

This is only the beginning!
The light is spreading….The world will hear!!
