Director Biography - Dammie Akinmola

Dammie Akinmola has always had an interest in music. He spent his early years as a music composer and later grew an interest in filmmaking. He loved to communicate with actors and effortlessly made a connection, with his directions translating well on screen. Akinmola's music compositions also make it to his films and he finds the source of his creativity in it, giving him the motivation to create interesting and unusual scenes.

Producing music of all genres and telling stories was always an aspect that came naturally to Akinmola. However, making films was not really an interest until he played a role in a short college film made by a friend of his. After acting in this short film, Akinmola found inspiration from directors such as Quentin Tarantino, Richard Linklater and Stanley Kubrick, loving their creative visions but also their characteristics and attitudes towards life.

Director Statement

I have always believed in a strong team of collaborators who can make my visions come true. Although the director is the face of the film, I strongly believe that it is the crew who make it all happen. The technical skills and creative ambitions of the crew is what drives me to produce films.

I also strongly believe that actors are not mere puppets of the director but collaborators who can bring their interpretation of the story and its characters to the table. A great actor is one that can discuss thoroughly about the characters and the world in which they live in, questioning their purpose.
