As CEO of Neptune3 Studios, it has been challenging but interesting so far. I am mainly interested in making films and directing music videos. My main passion is to make high-class films for the Nigerian cinema screens, where I am originally from. I am dedicated to learning as much as I can from film, books, and publications. Fused with lots of hands-on experiences, I hope to develop the standard of filmmaking in my country. I occasionally organize weekend workshops for the young ones not privileged to attain higher levels of education but have a flair for the camera and its components.
A leader can be sometimes confused to mean “most popular”. But a leader can be vaguely defined as one who influences a group of people toward a goal or lifestyle. The traits of a leader can be acquired and then developed. I believe I am a leader because of my positive attitude towards people, my great vision, influence and my bubbling desire to create positive change for those near and far away. I am quite ambitious, goal oriented and determined. My motivation comes from my family and my own desire to see the joy they get from my success. That result alone makes me push forward. And despite any setbacks I encounter, I am determined to resolve them and keep going. The little victories I have had over the years from a young age has given me a foretaste of what great satisfaction awaits when I attain my future aspiration.
My short attention span (most times, plain boredom), procrastination and over caring about other people’s opinions often knock me down. I notice that when I begin a project that I am hyped for and I start getting into the weighty part of the project when the real work and things start slowing down because of the time it takes to get it done, I lose interest and start looking for the next fun project. I get bored because of how long it takes to become a reality.
In order to tackle my issue with boredom, I just have to love what I am doing. Not just have a passion for it but also be very invested. Find new ways to keep the fire burning. I can discover new trends in the field I am pursuing and engage myself in its extracurricular activities. As for my bout with procrastination, I must realize how this affects my life’s goals and do my work on time in order to achieve that level of success I aim for. I need to start building a good working habit so when I become an employer of staff; I am able to uphold a world-class standard, as good work ethic becomes something of a habit.
It is also my goal to build a team of vibrant, focused and result-driven youths who will take on filmmaking not just as a job, but also as an art and a way of life. With the introduction of higher technology and numerous ways to improvise for film equipment and resources, I believe there is nothing stopping me from one day receiving an Oscar.
