Behind the scenes
- Set in modern-day Mbonge. The hut, the lantern, the sign on the wall: Our Culture, Our Pride.
- Kwangsi and Kwangi are the guardians. The Eye is time-bending. The threat is mercenaries, not a museum.
- The two-shot of Kwangsi and Kwangi is the picture of the film.
The Eye of Alume is not a retrieval story. It is a defence. A village turned upside down, a couple who will not give the artifact up. Mbonge is the ground. The mercenaries are the weather.
Process
The village
Mbonge, now. Chaos is not ancient. The mercenaries are already in the lanes.
The mark
Kwangi paints what Kwangsi must carry. Culture as armour, not as costume.
The cost
They protect the Eye at all cost. The film is what that sentence actually asks.
