Jacob Alexander

This short film was directed by Arie and Chuko Esiri in 2017, while they were studying film at Columbia University and New York University, respectively, and it stars EYIMOFE’s Jacob Alexander as a single father and amateur fighter on the verge of going pro who discovers that his forgetfulness may be a symptom of something worse.

Set in Lagos, Nigeria Eyimofe (This is My Desire) follows the stories of Mofe and Rosa on their quest for what they believe will be a better life on foreign shores.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon (Knives Out) stars in this gripping crime-thriller filled with pulse-pounding twists and turns. Recent graduate Lance (Patrick Schwarzenegger) leaves college disillusioned, jobless and in debt, realising everything he had worked towards was built on a lie.
