Tell us what drives you. What is your true passion in life?
“My passion for the arts, drama, literature, music, history, and filmmaking is a driving force. I love telling stories, creating them, and bringing them to life.
Beyond art for art’s sake, I also have a desire to make a meaningful contribution to society.”
How did you find your passion, and how old were you?
“It all began in childhood. I was fascinated by cinema, storytelling, music, history, and literature.
Exposure to Indian movies at the local cinema sparked my interest, which blossomed in secondary school, and from there, there was no turning back.”
What about your passion appeals to you the most?
“The gift of storytelling and communication. As an introvert, writing helps me express my thoughts and ideas with greater ease. Creating stories that others appreciate makes me happy.”
What drove you to make money from your passion?
“When you have bills to pay, earning income becomes a priority. Initially, I worked full‑time, then freelanced to sustain myself while pursuing my passion.”
When was the first time you were paid for your passion?
“I can’t recall the exact first payment, but while apprenticing at a video production facility, I received tips and occasional payments from jobs my older colleagues were working on.”
What kept you going when you thought about giving up?
“After my National Youth Service, I worked in a corporate institution but resigned to apprentice at a TV production company. I didn’t want to return to a 9‑to‑5 administrative career, even when things were tough.”
What motivates you every day to be even more successful?
“Being a creator and filmmaker is both a job and a hobby. The joy and fulfillment of self‑actualization motivate me beyond material rewards.”
What do you have to say to all of the people who doubted you?
“I pay little attention to doubters. Most people are preoccupied with their own lives. Challenges and pushback are common, but they don’t define my journey.”
What advice do you give to aspiring creatives who look up to you?
“Keep learning, keep improving. Find people with similar interests and support one another. Differences in skill sets or values are inevitable; learn to accommodate them. Above all, be kind.”
