Chris worked at PharmAcces Foundation in Africa for ten years before starting to make films. From day one, he was intrigued by Nigeria; a country full of contrasts, obstacles but also possibilities. In 2012, he chose to focus fully on a filmmaking career, taking his fascination for Nigeria with him. With the film Mrs. F (2019) his aim was to provoke thought about the potential to achieve change through development and contribute to reversing the misguided perception that exists about Africa in general and Nigeria in particular; to show the strength and potential of its people.
