Today is October 5, 2023.
It was a delight to
spend my Teachers' Day at the feet of two top Nigerian scriptwriting and
filmmaking teachers;
1. Mr Jude Idada
2. Mr Femi Odugbemi
...at the Quramo
Publishing: Festival Words event held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.

Both teachers say that
ADAPTING STORIES FROM BOOKS TO SCREEN, STAGE and other forms is more difficult
to achieve than writing original scriptwriting stories because of the
following:
1. Deciding on what to
keep and what to do away with from a book;
2. Interpreting a
character's thoughts;
3. The ability of a
filmmaker to afford the shooting of a film at different locations mentioned in
a book;
4. Obtaining copyright
permissions and intellectual property rights to a book.
ADAPTATION OF STORIES
FROM BOOKS TO SCREEN AND STAGE is my area of concentration in SCRIPTWRITING.
So, as an alumnus of:
1. Scriptwriting,
Africa Film Academy, Nigeria.
2. Intellectual
Property Rights Law (Copyright X), Harvard Law School, USA.
3. Music, PEFTI Film
Institute, Lagos, Nigeria.
4. Book Adaptation
student of these two great teachers......
I can achieve what I set my mind to do.
Therefore, if you want to
convert a book into a film, stage, song or poem, I am here to help you recreate
your dialogues, set up a film production team and other matters that will help
your audience delightfully experience your story.
I can also direct the
music for your project as a Music Supervisor.
