Tuoyo Ayomike
Executive producer
Turns ranges into schedules. Has never missed a delivery date, and would like you to know it.
Ejiro Okpako
Director of photography
Lights faces of every shade beautifully, and refuses to shoot at midday unless paid in suya.
Ebiere Tonwe
Documentary director
Spent six months on boats for Salt and Signal before a camera came out of its case.
Oritsetimeyin Mene
Gaffer
Runs the light and the power. If a generator coughs, Timi hears it first.
Akpevwe Ighodaro
Sound recordist
Records clean dialogue on rivers, markets and rooftops. Owns more windshields than shoes.
Ufuoma Erhire
Editor
Finds the story in the footage, then cuts it three ways so clients can choose.
Efe Omonigho
Colourist
Graded every film on this site. Keeps skin tones true under any light.
Tamarau Ebiowei

Licensed drone pilot and boat handler. Knows the creeks by their bends.
Kesiena Ajuyah
Choreographer
Builds dance for music videos with trained dancers from Warri and Sapele.
Onome Akpobire
Casting director
Has a list of 900 actors across the Delta, and a good memory for faces.
Dumebi Okolie
Production manager
Permits, boats, lunches and call sheets. The reason the shoot starts on time.
Nobody matches that search.
How we work together
House rules on set
Hot lunch, on time
Every crew member eats at the same time as the director. Always.
Twelve hour days
Overtime is paid and agreed, never assumed.
Safety first on water
Life jackets on, no water scenes after 4pm, a pilot on every boat.
Credit where due
Every crew member is credited on every film, including the drivers.
