Description: The Critics Company - nine teenage boys in the Nigerian city of Kaduna - started experimenting with making sci-fi films in 2016. They borrowed smartphones from family members, and made tripods out of wood. Three years later, their first short film became a sensation, drawing the attention of millions of people, including Hollywood Stars. The BBC’s Damilola Oduolowu met @Critics Company in Nigeria to hear their story.
