At Natives Filmworks, we don't just make movies; we curate experiences. With a foundation rooted in storytelling excellence and a forward-thinking approach to the industry, we continue to shape the narrative of African cinema. Join us on this exciting journey where every frame tells a unique story, and together, we bring the magic of African storytelling to the world stage.

The First Features project, spearheaded by Nollywood producing duo Steve Gukas and Dotun Olakunri, is focused on nurturing and empowering a new generation of visionary film directors. It provides training and funds the production of the first feature films by these exciting new voices in the Nigerian film industry.

Celebrating a proud milestone for Native Filmworks and Michelangelo Productions as the First Features Project earns four nominations at the Africa Movie Academy Awards — a testament to the power of mentorship, creativity, and bold storytelling.
