Join us at ZOMA House for an animatic screening of ZOMA Studios' MMANWU followed by a discussion with the film’s Writer, Director, and Producer Uzoma Ngwu.
Mmanwu is a 2D animated horror short set in modern day Nigeria. The film follows Ogechi, a Nigerian-American teenager, as she travels back to Nigeria for her grandfather's burial ceremony. However, her mourning is interrupted when she confronts an aspect of her culture she doesn’t understand; forcing her to contend with her identity as Nigerian and American.
ZOMA Studios is an animation studio telling stories from a culturally specific lens. Based in Minneapolis, the studio works with artists from all over the world.
