WATCH our short Finalist ‘How May I Help You?’

Written and Directed by Babajide Aroyewun

It's been a very long day for DAMI behind the telephone - listening and placating all sorts of customers. She has made plans for a very much awaited romantic night but one last call changes everything.
----
Dami is one of the peculiar call agent - daring enough to get the attention of her boss. The two generate love interest in themselves and setup a date not to miss. But Dami needs to work late into the night before her long weekend of siesta begins. She still finds time to provide update on how the date is to go amidst series of annoying late calls she has to deal with.

Just when the last phone call she had in mind to answer came through, everything took a turn she wouldn't have thought of. While the topic of conversation remained endearing and chemistry built with the customer at the other end of the line, it didn't particularly end the way she would have imagined. It takes one to know one. But it gets really freaky when there's more to the meet.
