DJ ÌRÀWỌ̀ LIMITED: MEET YOUR BOOK TO FILM SCREENWRITER

Today is October 5, 2023.

It was a delight to spend my Teachers' Day at the feet of two top Nigerian scriptwriting and filmmaking teachers;

1. Mr Jude Idada

2. Mr Femi Odugbemi

...at the Quramo Publishing: Festival Words event held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.

Both teachers say that ADAPTING STORIES FROM BOOKS TO SCREEN, STAGE and other forms is more difficult to achieve than writing original scriptwriting stories because of the following:

1. Deciding on what to keep and what to do away with from a book;

2. Interpreting a character's thoughts;

3. The ability of a filmmaker to afford the shooting of a film at different locations mentioned in a book;

4. Obtaining copyright permissions and intellectual property rights to a book.

ADAPTATION OF STORIES FROM BOOKS TO SCREEN AND STAGE is my area of concentration in SCRIPTWRITING.

So, as an alumnus of:

1. Scriptwriting, Africa Film Academy, Nigeria.

2. Intellectual Property Rights Law (Copyright X), Harvard Law School, USA.

3. Music, PEFTI Film Institute, Lagos, Nigeria.

4. Book Adaptation student of these two great teachers......

I can achieve what I set my mind to do.

Therefore, if you want to convert a book into a film, stage, song or poem, I am here to help you recreate your dialogues, set up a film production team and other matters that will help your audience delightfully experience your story.

I can also direct the music for your project as a Music Supervisor.
