Life is like an elevator. While many people get on with you, you all get off at different stops. I am always preaching about understanding the need to move different from those around you because we all have different destinies. It is a concept that is very personal to me as someone who once just wanted to fit in. The short animated film, Triumph, embodies this story.
Triumph is an animated film I wrote produced by the incredibly talented Schucks Media out of Lagos, Nigeria. Born out of a class that I took in graduate school, its sprouted wings, going beyond my original intention. Triumph has been selected for the Accra Animation Film Festival.
This festival celebrates the work of uber talented animated storytellers and producers thought Africa. After all this time, too many people still underestimate what can come out of Africa. Platforms like the Accra Animation Film Festival are destroying broken views of Africa and exposing African talent in a way that is overdue.
The Accra Animation Film Festival will be held July 31st – August 7, 2020.
