A short film by Moses Omobolaji and Akanbi Wonderful
In Nigeria, the city of Lagos, popularly called "ÈKÓ" is Africa's very own boom town. The city is known for its hustle and bustle which has in turn made Nigeria's economy the continent's largest. The story depicts the life and cultural identity of Lagos in the present millennium and presents an intrigiuing take on a futuristic Lagos.
The music is inspired by Africa's indigenous music genre; Afrobeats. It describes the spirit and cultural atmosphere of the city of Lagos, and also speaks to the political streak present in present day Nigeria. Much like the art direction, the film score interprets the story and underscores the film's philosophy.
We believe that a strong theme like the one portrayed in New Age, inspired by creative imagination and told through the powerful magic of animation, can move people and influence our future generations like nothing else can. I believe very strongly that nothing is impossible. This movie was birthed at a time when the whole world had barely recovered from a pandemic and the economical crisis in most countries was overwhelming. We started New Age on zero budget, but with passion and fortitude, we look to leave a lasting impact on our world with this beautiful story; New Age, birthed in the daunting post-Covid-19 era.
Dedicated to every member of the New Age team.
Moses Omobolaji
