Film Rats has given me a community. A community of collaborators who have become friends and some family.
Being a part of Film Rats, I have met and collaborated with likeminds, and other brilliant young filmmakers like myself. Plus whatever shege I’m facing in Nollywood, I know I’m not alone.lol. Seriously though, the club has also provided an avenue for me to broaden my horizon in other areas such as management and human relations.
My experience so far has been insightful, inspiring, and informative. And I’ve found a community to share my for Film, TV, and other arts, and I get to learn from them, and become a better cinephile.
Joining Film Rats Yellow has been a game-changer for me by providing a supportive community of film enthusiasts and collaborative opportunities that have helped me grow as a film enthusiast. From working as a production designer on a short film project to connecting with like-minded individuals, Film Rats Yellow is truly home.
