Short Synopsis: | Nono + Rodrigo directed a globe-spanning campaign for WhatsApp featuring Greek-Nigerian NBA basketball superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. The creative team at Transition NYC gave the directors the freedom to develop the script beyond the initial brief. Their ambition paid off: resulting in the 12-minute short film called Naija Odyssey, which premiered on Amazon Prime on September 21st 2022. The film, which centres around Giannis’ identity and immigrant story, is the exact sort of work this talented duo, both of whom are immigrants, set out to do together when they first met. |
