Filmmaker By Choice
As a Filmmaker, I am an Actor, Writer, Producer, and Director. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <P title=details>I started out as an Actor in a comedy tour group in Nigeria at the age of 13. Being mostly the "straight man" in the comedy sketches, I used that opportunity to put in work on my craft, developing my dramatic chops. I continued putting in work when I moved over to the UK; work which paid off when, in 2006, I was picked with 29 other actors out of 3500 to perform on The Old Vic stage in <I>The 24-Hour Plays</I> under the tutelage of my idol, Kevin Spacey. <BR><BR>After The Old Vic experience, I focused more on writing and directing plays and short films. My feature-directing debut came in the shape of <I>We Give You...</I>(2006), an adaptation of my stage play of the same name. The project is currently in its Post-Production phase.<BR><BR>Since then, I have teamed up with Tony Cook to form EAGLE HOUSE PICTURES, and have already produced one short film (<EM>ARI</EM> 2010), and are working on three Feature Films and a number of shorts in conjuction Gene Fallaize from CUPSOGUE PICTURES.</P><BR></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV>
