A multi-hyphenate with a background in tech and advertising, Effiong had led his digital marketing company, Anakle, to venture into commercial filmmaking by producing the 2018 romance dramawhich Effiong co-wrote with Bunmi Ajakaiye, is his feature length directorial debut. He explained how his professional past informed the present: “It’s funny, the experience that prepared me the most for directing films is my software programming.
“The parts of the film we shot in Kaduna could not have been shot in Lagos, there is no way we could have pulled that off. It looks different because Kaduna looks different, feels different with a different energy,” he says. “What we were going for is building stuff that was authentic to Nigeria. Instead of trying for big Hollywood stunts, we had fight scenes with fists in a way that is authentic to us. The car chase scene was set within a village with plenty dust in the air, that kind of stuff.”, Effiong has created a nihilistic world peopled with characters who have all done deeply troubling things at some point in their lives.
