In 2009, his movie, Chill Pill, also won the Focus Dialog Prize Award at the 37th SEHSUCHTE International Student Film Festival in Potsdam, Germany and was also nominated for the African Movie Academy Award in the Visual Effects category.
Mr. E says: “Jand Hustle, is a documentary-comedy about a Nigerian, called Jimmy Bendel, who travelled from West Africa to East London in search of greener pastures but finds out things are not the same as he reads or hears from people, who have travelled abroad.”
“ The movie helps to answer the question – Do you really know what people go through over there? They cannot tell you what they are going through because they are ashamed of the kind of jobs they do there.”
In one of the promotional posters, it reads, “In Nigerian, you have one or two relatives, who are based abroad but do you really know what they do to survive?”
Other, artistes who featured in the movie include Rachael Oniga, Kevin Hallett, Onoh Kallista, Oyinka Yusuff, and Okechukwu Chima. It was co-produced with Funmi Adesanya (UK), Ibironke Ojesebholo (Nigeria) while Associate Producers include Vitor Okhai, Cheah Kar Mun, Yejide Akomolafe, and Oliver Aleogena.
