    Content Connect S2E6: The Gen Z Screenwriter Who Makes You Feel Seen (not just entertained)

    Meet Nengi Diri (the Nengi you heard about), an experienced screenwriter, content writer, and UX writer who was actually behind one of the biggest Nollywood movies last year.In this episode, Nengi unravels the often-unheard midpoint between screenwriting and content design. She takes us on her journey from studying physiology to moving to Lagos to work on a documentary, and eventually becoming a highly sought-after writer for brands like Nigerian Breweries, Soundcity, Channel TV, and MTN. Nengi shares the three phases a film goes through, the essential components of a story treatment, why "it never ends" when it comes to script drafts, and the one question she truly despises as a screenwriter.If you've ever wanted to get into the film industry, learn the nitty-gritty of screenwriting, or just want to hear a genius talk about her craft (and lose spectacularly at a round of 'Concentration'), this episode is packed with insider knowledge you need to hear!As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts!
