The Creation of Tierra and Her Egungun
Tierra and Her Egungun is more than a short film — it’s a story shaped by culture, community, and the realities of independent filmmaking.
We take you behind the scenes with filmmaker Khadijat A. Oluwatoyin and producer Sydney Alison as they navigate the creative and logistical journey of bringing this film to life. From developing a deeply personal story rooted in Nigerian ancestry to facing unexpected challenges — including the loss of their lead actress and the ongoing work of grassroots fundraising — this is an honest look at what it takes to keep an independent film moving forward.
