Akpan Theophilus

Biography

Theophilus Akpan is a dedicated member of the "New Nollywood" crew community. He has become a reliable asset for directors like Ema Edosio-Deelen, who value a high-intensity, organized set environment. His work on When Nigeria Happens was particularly demanding, given the film's reliance on "rhythm and constant movement." Because the movie features extensive location shooting across Lagos—from gritty street scenes to complex dance sequences in confined spaces—the role of a Set Runner becomes vital. Theophilus was part of the logistical team that managed the "dichotomy of chaos and charm" on location, ensuring the safety of the dancers and the integrity of the equipment during those raw, unfiltered shots.
