"Shaping Us" Wins Best Film, African Diaspora At TINFF | fab.ng

British Nigerian filmmaker Kambili Ofili has achieved significant recognition for her debut feature, “Shaping Us“. “Shaping Us” is awarded Best Film: African Diaspora at the 2024 Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival. She wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the film.

Earlier this year, “Shaping Us” garnered attention with nominations in six categories. These include Best Drama, Best Film – Nollywood, Best First Film – International, and Best Film – African Diaspora.

Ofili founded the black and woman-led film production company Clear Skies Films & Production, which is committed to showcasing authentic and diverse African stories. Her company’s mission is to challenge stereotypes and inspire change through impactful filmmaking. Despite lacking prior industry experience, Ofili’s passion and talent have led to the success of “Shaping Us.”

In response to the film’s award, Ofili expressed her deep gratitude and enthusiasm for the filmmaking process. Her dedication to storytelling and her commitment to representing African narratives have undoubtedly contributed to the film’s triumph.

“I poured my heart and soul into this film, and I’m incredibly humbled by the recognition it has received. I hope Shaping Us will spark conversations and empathy around often stigmatised topics and make viewers navigating these situations in their real lives feel seen and understood.” she said.

Edith Nwakenta co-produced “Shaping Us.”

It is a compelling drama that explores the intricate lives of six close-knit friends. The film’s narrative follows these characters as they confront and overcome the complex challenges that come with adulthood.

Through their journeys, the story talks about weighty themes such as the struggle with infertility, the isolating battle against postpartum depression, and the emotional turmoil of divorce. Amidst these trials, the film shows the resilient bonds of friendship that provide strength and support to the characters.

The production team continues to refine the film, though they have yet to announce an official release date. “Shaping Us” boasts an ensemble cast that brings depth and authenticity to the story.

Bucci Franklin leads the group, supported by talented actors Uzoamaka Aniunoh, Omowunmi Dada, James Gardiner, Floyd Igbo, and Jordan Bangoji.

Each performer infuses their character with nuance and relatability, creating a rich performances. In an unexpected twist, popular comedian Lasisi Elenu makes a cameo appearance, likely adding a touch of humor to balance the film’s more serious moments.

Tyla Wins Best Afrobeats at the 2024 VMAs | fab.ng

South African music sensation Tyla made history at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). She became the first female African artist to win the prestigious Best Afrobeats award. Her groundbreaking victory was a testament to the immense talent and diversity of African music. This challenges the narrow perception that African music is solely represented by Afrobeats.

Hosted by the dynamic Megan Thee Stallion at the UBS Arena in Queens, New York, the 2024 VMAs showcased a significant breakthrough for African music. Tyla’s chart-topping hit “Water” secured her the coveted Best Afrobeats award.

With this award, she matches up with a stellar lineup of African artists. These artists include Burna Boy, Tems, Davido, Ayra Starr, Lojay, and Pheelz. Additionally, she was nominated for Best New Artist and Best RnB.

After receiving her award from the iconic Lil Nas X and Halle Bailey, Tyla expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the organizers of the VMAs. She emphasized the significance of her win for Africa. She highlighted that the success of “Water” not only had a global impact. Also, the song demonstrated the immense potential of African music to transcend genres and become mainstream pop.

“Like this is just so special but also bittersweet because I know there’s a tendency to group all African artists under Afrobeats,” she said. “African music is so diverse, it’s more than just Afrobeats.”

Tyla’s victory follows in the footsteps of Rema, who claimed the inaugural Best Afrobeats award last year for his hit song “Calm Down” featuring Selena Gomez. This series of wins underscores the growing recognition and appreciation for African music on the global stage.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift dominated the night with an impressive seven wins, tying for the most overall awards. Eminem also made a significant impact, securing the most solo male artist wins.
