Halima's Choice Explores Intersection of Technology and Tradition in a Future Africa allafrica: Nigeria
Azeez discovered her passion for storytelling at the age of 10 when her mother gifted her with numerous storybooks. She was particularly fascinated by stories containing magical elements that allowed her to escape from reality and explore different worlds.
Although she initially planned to study science, and later considering law, she found theatre arts intriguing. She worked at campus radio station Caritas FM as a student, and later as a full-time staff member. And while she was there, she was exposed to a BBC production radio drama called Story Story. She then created radio drama with other campus actors, which led her to learn more about drama and filmmaking.
During the filming process, Azeez had a memorable experience working with the actors, particularly the younger ones, who brought great energy to the set. However, there were also challenges such as filming in the rain and working within a tight schedule. During the filming of the Napata scene in Patek garden, Azeez remembers encountering challenges due to the rain. Initially, they waited to see what would happen but eventually decided to shoot with the rain, which required adjusting the setup.
Regarding her film specifically, Azeez wants viewers to take away the message that everyone has the right to choose, but every choice comes with consequences. She said all the characters in the film, including Halima's parents, made choices that had consequences.
