DELIVERABLE
Positioning
Last Bus Home is a short Lagos drama for young Nigerians who recognise the pressure to survive without losing themselves. The launch should sell the emotional choice, not merely “our first film.”
SAMPLE DELIVERABLE
What your money should feel like.
This example uses a fictional first-time Lagos filmmaker so you can see the level of practical output Twale Studio is designed to deliver.
FICTIONAL EXAMPLE
Last Bus Home
A 12-minute Lagos short film made by a first-time director about a young mechanic deciding whether to join a dishonest scheme when rent is due.
GOALGet the trailer seen, find early viewers and build enough credibility to approach small festivals and communities.

The hook
Everybody talks about hustle. What happens when the fastest money costs you the person you are trying to become?
DELIVERABLE
WhatsApp launch
Hi 👋🏾 I made my first short film, Last Bus Home. It’s a small Lagos story about pressure, money and choosing what kind of person you want to become. I’d love your honest eyes on the trailer. If it speaks to you, please pass it to one person who would get it.
