Filmmaker Kemi Adetiba helped raised funds for teenagers to pursue their filmmaking ambitions


When Kemi Adetiba isn’t making blockbusters, she is, as you’d soon learn, helping teenagers pursue their filmmaking ambitions. According to Adetiba, she was tagged on Twitter in a video made by some kids sourcing for funds to take their content creation to a higher level. I have spent a great deal of time consuming these videos made by @The_critics, a movie/television studio run by teenagers. The videos revolve around a niche aspect of filmmaking, involving VFX effects, sci-fi action and dystopias. Adetiba had been intrigued by their work, so much so that she contacted them immediately and got to know that the eldest amongst the teenagers is nineteen. Subsequently, she made an appeal on social media on their behalf, asking people to help them financially.
Not long after, Adetiba posted on Instagram indicating Sterling Bank’s donation of one million to the teenagers.
