From Vision to Screen: A Reel Works Journey

Since 2001, Reel Works has supported aspiring filmmakers from diverse backgrounds. Director Chidiogo Igboekwe's debut film "Tabula Rasa" premiered at our 2024 Film Festival, marking a powerful new voice in filmmaking.

"If you would have told me a year ago that I'd be directing a film and watching it on the big screen, I wouldn't have believed it." - Chidiogo

"I learned a lot about how to advocate for myself and my vision," she reflects.
