I have loved filmed from when I was a child, but I never considered it as a future career.

As a filmmaker you make your films with the audience you want to attract in mind.

Three directors whose work directly influences mine are Paul Thomas Anderson, Darren Aronofsky and Susanne Bier (her Danish films). You'll notice that they all don't make feel good movies, same as me, and their films are always visually simple but beautiful (and I hope mine are!).

I would describe myself as a filmmaker, period.

Nollywood is a genre, and not the entire Nigerian film industry.

There was no way I was going back to school to study anything for another three or four years. I was done with that. So I tried working on other people's projects, but didn't find any where I felt I could learn what I needed to learn.
