bio

I am a scriptwriter/screen writer and a Creative Director. I love telling the Africa story with the aim to expose, reveal and teach our ways and culture. I love romance and Drama is my strong fort while i am passionate about speculative narratives as they give me the license to explore the impossible.

experience

I started writing as far back as primary school but sold my first script while i was in 200L at the university in the year 2005. I started Acting in secondary school doing stage plays. Some i wrote while some where from our literature books. When i entered the university, i immediately joined the Performing Arts students in all their rehearsals and 499s.(final year projects) this helped me to be vast in stage acting. 

When i graduated and moved to Lagos, i started going for auditions. In 2012, i discovered that i must bring more to the table to really strive in this industry so i decided to become a Creative Director as i am more inclined to it but there was no money to go for training so i started visiting movie sets. This is how i started learning the skills needed. I also went online to read up and in 2014, i did my first short film titled "RESPONSIBILITY"  followed by YEKITIYE (2015), THE SECRET (2015), TEARS OF EBUWA (2015), ADAMU THE HERBS SELLER (2016), TESHO (2016), EGUN OBA (2017), OLAYINKA THE TERRIBLE (2017), MISSING PIECE (2018), MY SIBLINGS AND I (A 120 episodic MNET show in 2018). 

In all i have done Nine (9) features, Two(2) series and several short films and skits and i am presently working on a 26 episodes series.

when i am not writing or Directing or Producing, i also work as an AD, Script Supervisor, An Associate Producer, Unit Director, Art Director/Assistant, Production Manager, etc. the only roles i have not assumed on a film set is the role of a cinematographer and a sound engineer.
