Having Family Won’t Slow Down My Directing Productivity, Says Actor Kolawole Ajeyemi

Nollywood actor, filmmaker and businessman, Kolawole Ajeyemi weighs in heavily on the stereotype that being a family man will reduce his productivity as an entertainer and director.

The actor who has been directing movies for over a decade says directing is more like an expression of his artistic talent and starting a family with Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham won’t reduce his productivity as he is set to release new projects he directed.

The filmmaker who is the founder of Aje Omo Aje School of Performing arts has directed a couple of Nollywood films including Oni Jibiti, Segunfunmi, 48hours, Zito, Omo Alhaja and the likes is set to release two of his new movie projects titled “Oosa” and “Emi Alaise” which features Nollywood superstars such as Toyin Abraham, Nkechi Blessing, Bukola Adeeyo, Segun Ogungbe, Itele, Lola Magret and the likes.

Speaking on his directing, Kolawole Ajeyemi had this to say “People feel  because I have started a family and welcomed a lovely son with my wife, Toyin, that it will stop me from acting or directing but I’m sorry to burst your bubble but having a family will not slow down my directing productivity in any way but only boost my creative thinking. I have been directing movies since the year 2010 and that is because I see directing as an expression of my artistic talent and being married will not slow me down. I love my family and I love my work. My wife understands that because she’s also into the same industry so we have both learnt how to balance family and work. I really can’t wait for everyone to see what my team and I have put together, it will completely blow your minds”.

The celebrity cobbler will be releasing his movies, “Oosa” and “Emi Alaise” later this year.
