E2; Private Conversation with Ayodeji Ogunlade - Changing Lagos Film industry one Cannes nomination at a time.

This is Private Culture - Private conversations about all things Culture. In this episode of Private Culture, host Ingrid Paskell is in Lagos, Nigeria. She sits down with Nigerian production manager, producer and cinematographer Ayodeji Ogunlade. Recording in a beautiful garden, they explore and discuss what the Nigerian film industry is like; how the masterpiece “My Father’s Shadow” came to be, and how Ayodeji’s love of cinematography sent her on this journey of film, identity and artistry crossing oceans and continents to make the impact she wants.  This conversation offers a behind-the-scenes peek into the world of modern Nigerian film-making. There is a lot of laughter, personal stories and some practical advice offered along the way, as Ajodeji generously shares from her unique perspective - combining many worlds and juggling multiple roles - Ayodeji simple just is a POWERHOUSE. The conversation dances between topics such as; story-telling, identity, systemic industry change, love of film, having many careers in one lifetime and how nothing you learn is ever wasted. Ayodeji is born in Lagos, then moved across the Atlantic to America and then moved to London, only to end up going back to her roots in Lagos. She has a vast CV, being a multi-disciplinarian within her chosen industry. Her recent role as a production manager on the highly critically acclaimed movie “My Father’s Shadow” - the first Nigerian film to be selected for Cannes - is something we dive deeper into with this episode.
