According to ace filmmaker Tunde Kelani during a recent visit to the production locations of “Jagunjagun” and “Anikulapo The Series,” he said “I was truly impressed by the crews’ utilization of modern digital hybrid film production equipment.

These technological advancements have revolutionized the way African filmmakers tell their stories, enabling them to beautifully capture the continent’s rich cultural diversity.
