I'm Wale.
A UK-based Nigerian writer-director, currently developing my debut feature film. My award-winning films have screened at over 20 Academy, BAFTA, and BIFA-qualifying festivals, including Cleveland International Film Festival, Palm Springs ShortFest and Holly Shorts London. My latest film stars BAFTA-nominated actor Cyril Nri and continues my focus on intimate, character-driven narratives.
In addition to directing, I produced the 2023 Netflix original series Ololade, which debuted at #1 on Netflix Nigeria and ranked in the top 10 across 12 countries. I am also a co-founder of TNC Africa, an online community that supports the next generation of African filmmakers.
