'Blackmail' (Dir. Obi Emelonye)

COMING SOON - the latest film by Nollywood film director Obi Emelonye. 

​

As the Production Designer for the film, I was responsible for conceptualising and building the set, as well as sourcing the props and set dressing. The build took place on location at Haggerston Community Centre, London. This involved converting a disused nursery space into a seedy office for cybercriminal oligarch 'Igor', and the fabrication of the police station conference and interrogation room.
