Our StorytellingThe story uses "Fables." Non – human characters that act like they are human. Specifically, our story revolves around a central character called Blend, who must blend in with other true ancient African relics when he is relocated to a museum of African relics, from a small gallery in France.
The Artifacts in the museum come alive at midnight everyday, and live life to the fullest before returning to their mundane form just before daybreak. By having the artifact collection come alive daily at midnight, we have managed to create a very crucial sense of the movie's fantasy rudiments to reflect the human perspective of communal living - complete with feelings, sentiments, traditions, and conflicts - all exaggerated beyond the obvious. Though we have chosen to tell the bulk of our story with these artifacts, we also have human characters. We have employed a unique storytelling method that adequately combines reality and high-fiction by using our fabulist elements to accomplish the plot objective. Our storytelling is allegorical; as the artifacts serve a symbolic purpose beyond their mundane form. THE MOST PROMISING PROJECTS FROM NIGERIA.
