The director and producer of Nigeria's first crowd funded movie 'Hakkunde' talks about his career as a film maker, and explains the importance of telling a story
"I was just trying to do something different", Oluseyi Asurf said with a smile on his face.

The film maker is the master-mind behind the first crowd sourced movie, ‘Hakkunde’.

But his chat with Bounce News focused on the controversial gay-themed short film titled 'Hail Or High Water'.

Oluseyi is cut from a different cloth of film makers, he likes to go beyond limits and gaze behind clouds.

First, he made a gay-themed short film, then he crowd-sourced for his feature movie (even though he had like 80-90% of the budget before he went crowd-sourcing).

Against all odds, he shot Hakkunde in Kaduna despite cases of unrest in the state's southern part. He also featured Fulani herdsmen who have been blamed for recent attacks on rural areas.

“I felt as long as the story is true, then my job as a film maker is to tell the story, the fact that we even have laws against homosexuality put us in a good spot to tell stories around it, our job is to educate, enlighten and probably influence culture.”
