Kemi Adeyemi is 23-year old TV personality from Nigeria who admires powerhouses such as Nigerian filmmaker Kemi Adetiba, actress Adesua Etomi and actor Richard Mofe-Damijo.
Born in Kenya, Kemi’s favourite films include The Sound of Music, The Light Between Oceans, The Shack, The Notebook andIsoken.
Kemi entered the MultiChoice Talent Factory Academy with a mission to develop her existing film production, script writing and directing skills, which she believes will go a long way towards bridge the industry gap between talent and profitability.
“[The African creative industry has] unlimited potential and new flavour that has never been seen before on a world stage. We have the chance to make the African film industry bigger and better than any other worldwide!” Kemi explains.
Her career aim is to therefore create films that are light enough to watch and profound enough to change lives.
While she is well aware of the challenges that African film industry poses, her heart is set on developing a platform for African film creatives to share their film synopses with audiences and allow people to vote for what they want to see.
As a young and developing film and TV creative, Kemi wants to add new expression, a keen eye for detail and an unapologetic change in storytelling to Africa’s video entertainment industry.
