About Me
- AFANMEDIA
- Bournemouth, United Kingdom
- I am studying Producing Film and Television in Bournemouth University, South West England, the United Kingdom. I am irrevocably committed to the global appreciation of the AFAN, an artform in Nigeria that was performed to a legendary status for eighty years until its creator , major propagator and only known exponent, Chief Umobuarie Igberaese, died on December 10, 2001. I hope to use this blog to draw the attention of investors to the numerous stories of the AFAN for subsequent production as low-budget films as well as marketing and distribution to a ready audience. I also hope to use this blog to initiate a connection between the AFAN and the New Media. I am being tremendously influenced by my friend, lecturer and programme leader, Trevor Hearing.
There must be a way to share the works of this "genius" with a wider audience. Chief Umobuarie is a master story teller, an Esan 'griot' and a University all by himself. His stories sustained me in my numerous exiles from Esan land. Thanks for the blogs and Youtube postings.
