“This was the first time I had been to Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub. I came into the impressive soundstage. I met Stanlee addressing a small group of people. I knew I was late. I had missed my way before because in 2022, not many people along Airport Road knew my destination as Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub.”

“We bombarded Stanlee with a lot of questions just as the Japanese kamikaze bombers did to Pearl Harbor during the Second World War. Before the end of the masterclass, I knew what the filmmaking process would entail to ensure its success, at least fundamentally. The first thing I remember he said was, ‘Filmmaking is divided into 3 stages: pre-production, production and post-production. And any mistakes made in pre-production will appear during production and any errors during production will find its way into post-production and any errors found in post-production will affect the overall quality of the film project.’”
