when the idea popped in my head last Christmas and played the whole story in my head...at least what I wanted to explore, share with the audience...the journey I wanted to make...I was told that scripts are not written in a month...I work 24/7, I get possessed...so I thought in my little head that we will make it happen in time zero...what happened four month later was, I completely lost perception of what was in the script and what was in my head...and a brilliant director came out of nowhere to advise me to close Final Draft and let it rest for a couple of months, forget all about it...so I did, got caught up with life, even lost interest on it...when we re-opened Olufemi a few month ago, supposedly to polish it...speechless...Olufemi got a life of her own, she took the direction she was meant to...very different script than the first drafts...But she's alive, she's universal and everyone can connect with her...so underneath our half a million$ costumes, the music and vividness of the 20s...the haunting images...there's a story...a journey...a truth...and I have to acknowledge that this would have never happened without the help of so many people, who asked questions, who helped me clarify what I want and where I am going...I am not your average person and I embrace it, is either you'll appreciate me or try and put me down...But I am at a place in my life that I know where I am going and I know what makes me good at what I do and now when I look back I understand, I get it...I have an amazing team of brilliant people, that I like to call family, people who don't treat it as a job...who live to make journeys...who want what I want...

Olufemi....
"In order to fall in love, you need to be open to love"
Olufemi is based on perception, we perceive the world we live in based on how we were programmed...
It is a timeless journey that explores and exploits the highs and lows of the intense physical attraction and emotional vulnerability between a man and a woman who have just met. Set in a large mansion, the meticulously maintained house and surrounding grounds set the tone for the type of life Olufemi has always lived in....
the choices we make decide the lives we live...
Olufemi chose to live in a world full of people alone...
