Nollywood filmmaker Adeoluwa Owu, popularly known as Captain Degzy, is adding another international achievement to his growing list of film milestones.
The filmmaker has continued to attract attention beyond Nigeria following the success of ÌWÉ ÀLÁ: An Ojúde Oba Story, which has picked up awards at international film festivals.
The latest recognition adds another highlight to Captain Degzy’s journey in the Nigerian film industry, where he has been building a name through his work behind the scenes.
His recent run has also seen him take on a major role at the much talked-about premiere of Black Market in Lagos, where he served as the show caller for the record setting event.
The premiere, held at Tafawa Balewa Square, drew thousands of movie lovers and became one of the biggest talking points in Nollywood after the screening attracted 51,000 qualifying viewers, setting a new Guinness World Record for the largest audience at a film screening in a single location.
For Captain Degzy, being part of such a major production adds another notable moment to a career that is increasingly gaining attention both locally and internationally.
With ÌWÉ ÀLÁ continuing to receive recognition on the festival circuit and his involvement in major Nollywood productions growing, Captain Degzy is carving out his own space in an industry where behind the scenes talents are becoming increasingly visible.
His latest international milestone further puts the spotlight on the filmmaker and the work he continues to bring to the Nigerian film scene.
