Yemi Amodu

In 2017, Amodu's new work Shadows was approved by The Bank of Industry (BOI) Nigeria, to benefit from its multimillion Nollyfund project. The movie is directed by Ben Akugbe and scripted by Ade Adeniyi.

In April 2014, he indicated his desire to contest for the president of The Movie Ambassadors, TMA. He later stepped down for the eventual winner of the election, Saheed Balogun.

And with an inquisitive mind, he proceeded to the field and worked as a Continuity Manager, a Sound Recordist, Production Manager and assistant director before he eventually produced his first movie “Evil Rise” which was shot on U-Matic in 1992.

Amodu joined Ace studio that later become DBN TV as a trainee editor in 1989, and later became proficient in craft of editing on U-Matic and Betacam SP. But to operate in broadcasting them, one must be protean in production, which was why he had to learn the craft of Cinematography and Sound with avidity. It was this mastery that earned him a quick rise in the industry.

He started as an actor, a poet and a talking drummer in 1983 while still in secondary school. Amodu holds a Diploma and Bachelor of Arts Degree in Directing from Department of Performing Arts, Olabisi Onabanjo University.
