Nine teenage boys in the Nigerian city of Kaduna started experimenting with making sci-fi films in 2016.
They borrowed smartphones from family members, and made tripods out of wood.
Three years later, their first short film became a sensation, drawing the attention of millions of people, including Hollywood Stars.
The BBC’s Damilola Oduolowu met the young film-makers in Nigeria to hear their story.

It bothers me (too much) that we are going to space and still using 'feet' as a unit of measurement.
My wife wanted a wooden engagement ring, and so I fashioned one (well ~10) out of a Pacific madrone burl.
Great material to work with, but wouldn’t recommend wooden bands unless your actual wedding is near!
