Reel Stories - Jeremy Ojo

In this episode of Reel Stories we checked in with Jeremy Ojo. Jeremy is a screenwriter, actor and producer. Jeremy fell into the industry when a friend contacted him about getting involved in making a web-series, which he subsequently wrote, produced and starred in. We met Jeremy through a mutual close friend who studied at Oxford University with him.In this episode we discuss how Jeremy broke into the industry and navigated the system when he had no previous experience within it or connections, work-life balance and the difficulty of knowing when to feel comfortable calling yourself the person you are aiming to be in the industry. For Jeremy’s mental health, we discuss: his experience of ‘talking therapy’ which he accessed because of issues he’d had in relationships, being the first person ever from his South London state school to go to Oxford University and his ADHD diagnosis he received whilst he was at Oxford.We finish by exploring how he learned self-awareness about his own mental health and how he now understands himself better as a result.
