A trio of young Nigerian filmmakers who go by the name, Ikorodu Bois, finally got recognition for their hard work.
The group, which consists of Muiz Sanni (15), Malik Sanni (10) and Fawas Aina (13), have become a social media sensation after videos, where they recreated scenes from major films,go viral.
The Ikorodu Bois stood out due to their use of limited resources when recreating the scenes.
They recently did a remake of a scene from the Netflix Original film "Extraction", an American action-thriller film directed by Sam Hargrave.
A few hours after posting the video on Twitter, the Russo Brothers, writers of the movie, saw it and invited the Ikorodu Bois to the "Extraction 2" premiere.
