Biography
Adeoye Adetunji is a renowned Nigerian stop-motion animator, actor, and filmmaker.

Known for his meditative creative process, Adetunji handcrafts every frame—building miniature sets and puppets on his dining table, evolving stories through purpose and ritual rather than rush. His expressive stop-motion work has been celebrated as deeply sacred and visionary, shifting the narrative of Nollywood storytelling through stillness and spiritual resonance

A stop-motion animated short that tells the story of Ajadi, a weathered fisherman shaped by years of toil. When a fierce storm throws him into the ocean, he drifts unconscious only to awaken in a strange, metaphysical realm. In this "in-between" space, where the sea is unnaturally calm and the sky surreal, a mysterious voice calls out to him, forcing a confrontation with his own identity.
