‘The End of the World Tour’ is a celebration of the messiness of being a teenage girl, to feel so deeply and passionately and just be figuring things out. Much of this film came from my own love for bands like One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer as a teenager and how certain I was that those feelings would be forever. When Zayn left One Direction, it did feel like my world was ending and my mum even let me take the day off of school. There’s something fantastical, over dramatic and just outright funny about being a fangirl and I just wanted to capture all of that within this film. With this story I love that there are elements of my dual identity as an artist being both Nigerian and Irish, and how those cultures can come to a head or even mirror each other. The film follows Kemi , the ultimate fangirl of the hottest boyband around - WHYNOT! Her world is turned upside down when she gets the devastating news that her beloved band is splitting up! Kemi's heartbroken, but she's not giving up on her dreams just yet. She's determined to meet the love of her life, the band's frontman COLE. Kemi's God-loving mother, Esther, may not understand her daughter's obsession, but that won't stop Kemi from pursuing her passion. Along the way, both mother and daughter discover that their idols aren't quite what they seem. As they clash over their pursuits, they come face to face with the reality of their idols.
