The Critics have been making waves in the film industry for the last few years, with their latest short film ‘Ogun Ola: War is Coming’ being picked up and produced by Morgan Freeman, and for recently winning the #YouTubeBlack Black Voices Fund.

This group of young creatives from Nigeria have become famous for their DIY approach to their creative sci-fi films, originally filming everything on an old iPhone, a broken microphone stand, and a green cloth in the background. They’ve since made over 25 movies, learning online how to edit in photoshop and releasing their projects to their thousands of subscribers on Youtube.

In this episode, Raymond from The Critics chats with Sophia Stanford, and lets us in on what its like trying to navigate an underfunded creative industry in Nigeria, why the internet has been so important for their work, and where they find inspiration for their stories.
