We are delighted to announce the first of two winners for the 2021 Other Brother Studios Film Fund is Mojola Akinyemi.
Mojola’s short film ‘Ferret' is a psychological thriller focusing on fracturing of interpersonal relationships between young women. A first year student starting at an elite university is drawn into an exclusive clique, and begins to form an unhealthy attachment to the leader. With rising tensions, stark revelations and a sudden suicide, questions are raised on how far one is willing to go after rejection.
Mojola’s pitch was fantastic, with huge attention to detail and a bold, brilliantly written script. We are incredibly excited to see what Mojola creates with her ideas.
Mojola has been teamed up with mentor Ashleigh Ashley. A formidable force in TV and film, Ashleigh is a creative producer and director who has worked across TV / film production, marketing and film distribution for companies such as Independent Films, Sky, BBC, Netflix and The Walt Disney Company. Ash also currently works with production company Lammas Park, it’s been amazing to watch her growth in the industry. Thank you Ash for lending your expertise to this project!
The second winner of the 2021 Other Brother Studios Film Fund will be announced soon.
