The accolades for Femi Adebayo’s recent offering, Jagun Jagun, are through the roof and still piling up. It makes sense that this is so, as all it takes to blow your mind is to watch.
You might concur with me that, like many other things in life, Jagun Jagun is the outcome of many enthusiastic and committed individuals getting together to share ideas, not to assert their supremacy but to accomplish a shared objective.
In Jagun Jagun’s case, there’s already evidence; Niyi Akinmolayan’s posts only offer an explanation.
The filmmaker, whose Anthill Studio is credited for the post-production of Jagun Jagun, tweeted about the significance of a communal spirit when producing Yoruba movies and accompanied it with a video where one could hear the easy deliberation about the first scene, the palace invasion scene.
In this clip, he, Tope Adebayo, Femi Adebayo, and Adebayo Tijani are seen chewing over how the scene should play out, and it’s just easy to guess that even producers can step away from the original plan and come up with something refreshing and brilliant.
He wrapped it up with special gratitude to Adebayo Tijani and Tope Adebayo, both of whom are directors of the Jagun Jagun production.
