DIRECTOR:
Daniel Okoduwa
Daniel Okoduwa is a Sydney based African - Australian film director, producer and screenwriter. In 2002, Daniel first tried his hands on filmmaking when he got his friends together for a feature titled ‘Death is a Diamond.’ The film tells of a bunch of diamonds that were illegally smuggled into Australia from Africa, thus making him the first African to ever produce a film in Australia. Daniel would later team up with Korean born and Sydney based filmmaker Mike Kang to produce a drama titled ‘Gossip Nation’ a film that earned him the best emerging film producer at THE SPA AWARDS (Screen Producers of Australia) in 2012.
The SPA AWARDS earned Daniel a trip to the AFM in Santa Monica, California, USA. His trip to Hollywood exposed him to a new way of thinking and writing. By late 2015 Daniel began writing Survive or Die, once again inviting his friend Mike Kang to help bring the story to reality.
