Nigerian scriptwriter, Lucky Esene has emerged category winner at the just concluded Malaysia Film Feathers Awards, MFF Awards.
Lucky won ‘The Best Local Scriptwriter Award’ and thanked God for the inspiration. He was also full of praises for King Asu, his mentor who tutored him in creative art.
“I’m proudly Nigerian with love for the Yoruba culture. I so much respect, honour and appreciate this culture which influences my aspirations and experience. I believe I can express myself better in telling our stories through that medium. It took me two years of research and writing to get my scripts ready,” said Lucky who also claim that growing up in Lagos also influences his work.
