bio

Jimeto Onyedika was a kid with a vivid imagination, such that in boarding school he made up stories about movies that didn't exist (yet) to fit in with his friends' conversations about popular films. Now, that kid is in his early 20's, a soon to be certified director, an actor and a certified screenwriter with a degree from Ebonylife Creative Academy where he won the award for 'BEST SCRIPT' for his creative work titled 'COMMENT SECTION'. That kid from all those years ago, gets his day in the sun when Jimeto is cast in various short films, including 'THE LIST' by RedClaye where he plays a school kid due to his youngish stature.
