My journey into the industry started in 2017 when I developed an interest in screenwriting. Thanks to the Amazon Storywriter software available back then that helped me understand the formatting of a screenplay better.

I have always been a big fan of movies, novels, and anime. I also love to tell stories and have done so via short stories and poems, before choosing screenplay as a preferred medium.

Over the years, I have evolved as a screenwriter, by continuously learning, reading, and writing. I've written a few feature-length screenplays and a handful of short films, too, but I don't have a published work yet.

My eyes are set on Hollywood. Yes, you read that right. I'm Nigerian and have never been to the United States, but I don't think it's impossible. One of the reasons I'm here to collaborate with you amazing talents from all over the world.

So, if you're a filmmaker looking for a short film screenplay, based on an idea/book or any topic/theme, feel free to hit me up. And if you're a new screenwriter looking to collab with someone that can adapt your idea, help polish it, and show your imagination on the pages of a screenplay, I'm at your service.

Oh, I should probably list some genres I'm comfortable with.

Well, I love exploring different genres. Since I've not made a name for myself yet, I can't afford to be limited to a niche. I also don't want to miss out when the opportunity knocks for projects in other genres. So, FYI, I love writing the major genres, which are: action, drama, mystery, and horror. I have a great sense of humour but am not very confident in writing comedy, so I'm currently working on that.

I write romance too, but I get so emotional. It's funny how I love to build a character in an action/horror story and kill them after building a connection with the audience, but I cry when there's a breakup between two characters that seem so perfect for each other.

Is this bio long? Sorry about that. Anyway, just feel free to connect if you have questions or projects.

PS: If you want a non-English script, you'll have to handle the translation.
