Join us for an exciting evening screening of the latest animated movie from the Legends of Onile:Dayo series! Loosely based on Yoruba culture, the story tells the tale of a young magical artist named Dayo.
Nadjib Adebola Assani is a concept artist, sculptor and animator originally from Benin and a long-time resident of North Carolina. He graduated from NC State, earning a bachelor of fine arts, with a concentration in animation. Shortly after, he studied at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in LA. After a few years of working freelance in LA for such clients as Design Studio Press, Logan Media, Motion Theory, Darpa, Hewlett Packard and much more, he returned to NC. Nadjib couldn’t abandon his passion for creative art that displays a positive message (through stories, animations or sculptures), so he decided to found a company that would allow him to do just that! Over the years, he has created a West African fantasy series called Legends of Onile that features positive characters and a rich world for all to enjoy, regardless of race, age or gender.
