“Yemi and Sam have a rude awakening when mum Ada returns home unexpectedly. Room Service is a light-hearted coming out story exploring themes of queerness, masculinity and how we can build our own imaginary closet.”

Representing Ridley Scott Creative Group in Straight 8 Shootout 2024, Room Service was made on one cartridge of Super 8 with only in-camera edits and no post-production. The film premiered at Cinema Les Arcades, Cannes during Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
