When I started out in the film industry in 2015, I was clueless!
As an immigrant with an accent, my first film teacher(Caucasian) literally made fun of me in a class full of people because of my accent and told me without mincing words, that I didn't stand a chance in this industry, I was embarrassed beyond words and I believed there was no place for me to shine in Canada, hence my decision to pursue my film career in Nigeria where I felt I would be accepted without prejudice.
The past year however, with the reception #theafricanfamilyseries received, has debunked that and shown me that, now
Reposted from @bukkywonda On this episode of #bukkywondapodcast, I had the opportunity to chat with my friend and brother Omatta Udalor @ohmtee about his journey as an Actor and Filmmaker in Canada over the past 7 years, we spoke about how he overcame the challenges most immigrants face in a new place and the uniqueness of being a black person in the film space in Calgary. He shared with me amazing lessons, resources, and tips on how not just to get started but how to stay consistent and relevant in the industry.
He shared about @c.s.i.f support of his journey and how he never felt out of place and many more...
He is one of 15 participants @reelworld Canada's Next Producers from across Canada. @ohmtee is also the founder of Handcuff Entertainment that has produced 4 short films that has been nominated and won awards locally and internationally.
