No More Wings | Official Selection @ Nosakhari Film Festival 2023
The dilemma of staying true to the community while rising higher in life is a tension often navigated in many neighbourhoods, especially as they rapidly gentrify. But what “No More Wings” accomplishes with compelling grace and thoughtfulness is showing how the boisterous warmth and sometimes demanding pull of community lives within us, casting a long, keenly felt influence – one that feels like both a shadow and embrace, often at the same time.
Abraham Adeyemi is a multi-disciplinary writer-director and playwright, from South London. Abraham draws on a primarily – but not limited to – pure narrative film and theatre background to apply the art of storytelling to the realm of digital advertising and technology-driven entertainment. At the heart, using empathy as the guiding light to create a captivating viewer experience.
