The Agbajowo Collective is based in Nigeria, working on filmmaking, through several countries (Nigeria, South Africa, Germany and United States of America (USA).
The collective is consisting of James Tayler, Ogungbamila Temitope, Okechukwu Samuel, Mathew Cerf, Tina Edukpo, Bisola Akinmuyiwa, A.S. Elijah.

The collective is known for their first feature : THE LEGEND OF THE VAGABOND QUEEN OF LAGOS (2024, Directors).

"The name of the collective, drawn from a Yoruba proverb, refers to a sense of collective responsibility in creating change". (Olivia Popp, Cineuropa)

"The product of radical collaboration at every stage of development and production, The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos represents the culmination of a seven-year journey to expose the ways poverty is criminalized to excuse unjust police raids and the destruction of entire communities. Alternating in tone between terse thriller, documentary-like observation, and wondrous magical realism, this gorgeously rendered film is a vibrant portrait of people struggling to protect their community and the place they call home." NATALEAH HUNTER-YOUNG (TIFF 2024, Toronto).
