I’m looking for a young Nigerian male actor (early 20s–early 30s) for a one-actor "cinematic" skit shot entirely in a car. This role requires someone with strong screen presence, expressive eyes, and excellent emotional control, capable of carrying a scene alone. The skits will include minimal, intentional dialogue, so you must be able to deliver lines naturally and truthfully, without overacting, while letting silence and subtext do most of the work. You should be comfortable with subtle performances, tight close-ups, and grounded, realistic delivery. This is for an actor who understands cinematic acting rather than skit or stage performance. A large social media following is not required — craft, discipline, and presence matter most.

I recently made a post urging people to ask me anything about my journey so far as a Film Director... Someone asked me when my next movie will be released.

My answer is: I am back on the drawing board! I learned many lessons from my first attempt and to me this is the path to growth.

As a new director on Nollywood I look up to several established hands. Here are 3 Nollywood directors that inspire me, right based on work released in the last 3 years. The interesting thing is all 3 are good friends who I've worked with in another life.

Biodun Stephen - She is consistent and makes really beautiful stuff. A cut above the rest. Labake Olododo is one of her latest movies and a must watch!

Lord Tanner - This one get coconut head 😂 Always pushing the limit and you can see his growth in every movie he makes. The Artifact is his latest movie and a must watch!

Tolu Ajayi - Underrated. A real class act, stories well told and scenes beautifully shot. One of the continent's finest. His latest movie is Over The Bridge and a must see 👌🏽

Okay, I have been thinking. Not foolproof, not solidified but there’s something here…stay with me.

What if Nollywood partnered with telcos so Nigerians could legally stream movies directly on their phones, zero-rated data, protected, and affordable? Imagine every Nollywood movie was available on all Telco platforms and still available on other channels we are familiar with.

Imagine this. Imagine you pay ₦750 to stream/download a movie..remember zero-rated data, meaning it doesnr use your paid data subscription. Ok let’s take things up a notch. Instead of ₦750 for one movie, imagine ₦750 gives you access to 10 movies a month. Telcos handle the backend - distribution, billing, and digital rights management. Nollywood focuses on what it knows best….storytelling, and making a damn good movie.

With an estimated 100 million smartphone users (depending on the data you choose to believe, some sources put the number at close to 150 million - 100 million is plenty enough for this my rambling), if only 10 percent subscribed at ₦750 a month, that is 10 million people paying ₦7.5 billion every month. In a year that is ₦90 billion. If 25 percent subscribed, revenues could climb above ₦225 billion annually… see money. Don't forget this is still just one channel o, Cinema still dey, YouTube dey and others.

That kind of money means life-changing income for filmmakers, better quality productions, piracy finally losing ground, and ordinary Nigerians accessing films at a price that feels fair. Price is so fair piracy doesn't make sense online again as you eat up your data.

More Nigerians are already turning to YouTube for their movies - this is all my wife watches now. The appetite and ability to consume digitally and on mobile is there. With the right synergy, the industry could leap into a whole new era. I know my example was for ₦750 but the sweet spot could also be ₦1500 or even more to make sense

Not a finished idea, but it feels like a game changer in the making 😎

I didn't just waltz into the role of Director, I went to film school o, but that doesn't make the job a piece of cake. What would you like to know about my experience?
