STEVE GUKAS

How do filmmakers get more of their vision on screen? @stevegukas shares a key insight. Watch to find out. 🎥 Full conversation 👉 bit.ly/4m5ZAa7 @NativesfilmWX @firstfeatureswx #InsideNollywood #SteveGukas

Recently, we signed an agreement with St. Kitts & Nevis & Aquarian Consult that will see Natives Filmworks and Michelangelo Productions replicating the First Features projects for thewhole of global Africa. This opens up the project to submissions from black filmmakers worldwide.

This left me numb, sad & angered. People did this & must be found. The helplessness with which government and the people talk about this, needs to change.These are not ghosts. The failure to bring anyone to justice, emboldens future attacks. This needs to be different. Enough!!

@MealdredO @AlexandraHul The more reason to make them.

The 2 films I am gearing to produce and direct will probably get me arrested 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers 🍻

Our conversation continues.

Sharing some of my thoughts on the industry. I sat down with the guys at Transperfect during the Cannes Film Festival last year and the convo was real fun. It drops soon as part of their Inside Nollywood Series. Will keep you posted. #insidenollywood #nativesfilmworks

Best wishes for an awesome Christmas and an amazing 2026.

Gutted by the news of the passing of one of my favourite filmmakers. Director of iconic films like, “When Harry Met Sally” “A Few Good Men” and many others. Rest in power Rob Reiner

You see the whole brouhaha about Donald Trumps post on Nigeria. Nothing captures it better than Nkiru Njoku’s @nkirunjoku very apt post below. Couldn’t have said it better. Reminds me of Rita Marley’s song “who feel is knows It” May the momentum this generates not die down

@remimah 🙏🙏

I just want to say @stevegukas deserves ALL his flowers. Goodness! I watched three films last week where he was either the director or supervising producer. Brilliant shots, cinematography, art direction, dialogue, story! 🥰 And he always chooses actors that can act. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

NTA, Natives Filmworks and ITK Sign Deal To Remake CockCrow At Dawn The collaboration will bring the much beloved television series back to primetime on the national broadcaster in 2026.

A special thanks to our visionary executive producers Steve Gukas & Dotun Olakunri for steering this milestone project under the #FirstFeatures initiative. #Nollywood #FilmInNigeria #SetLife #thealmajirifilm

Small small now! The Lost Days the 9th film in our #FirstFeatures slate, directed by @WingoniaIkpi is #1 on PrimeVideo. Even more reason to see it today. Find out why so many people are raving about it.

I love good music and it’s always magic every now and then when I discover a piece of music or musician that blows my mind. As is the case now. Listening to @afrotraction_ We Own Sundays album is so chill inducing. If you love good music, listen to it and thank me later.

Was great being part of the jury for what is a significant opportunity for Nollywood films. Wishing the selected films/filmmakers an amazing and rewarding outing. nollywoodinhollywood.com/rsvp-2025/

You know that perfect occurrence, when the casting is right and the actor gets the memo? Thats what @Dokutagidi Twitter is for #TheLostDays without doubt, Durotimi Okutagidi Is a talent to watch out for. #thelostdaysmovie

See who stopped by our set in Abeokuta! A true film legend. @tundeKelani stopped by and it was awesome to see him. Inspiring.

For me, @BaajAdebule has been a revelation on this project. Sublime and really nuanced in his portrayal of what is a really twisted character. #TheLostDays loading.

It was a major catch, casting the cerebral Bimbo Manuel for #TheLostDays It’s been a gift watching him at work.
