Phyllis

About This Movie

Phyllis is this intriguing short that dives into the psyche of a woman who’s both a vampire and a fan of Nollywood’s synthetic dramas. It’s a slow burn, really atmospheric with its visuals and tone. The way it explores the ritual of wig-wearing in Nollywood films is both fascinating and a bit surreal. You get this sense of isolation, like she’s enveloped in her own little world amidst the chaos of Lagos. The performances are subtle, but they carry this weight—there’s a haunting quality to it all. It's definitely a unique piece that blends fantasy with real cultural commentary, almost dreamlike in its pacing. A distinctive piece that stands out in a sea of more conventional narratives.
