I NEARLY RAN INTO DEBT DURING THE PRODUCTION OF AWUSA... SEYI AINA


TELL US ABOUT SEYI AINA:
SEYI AINA is the CEO of the clothing and film making company.

HOW ARE YOU COPING AS AN ACTOR AND A FASHION DESIGNER:
How I am coping as an actor and a designer:The two profession are very tasking.so I schedule myself very well,and another thing is I don't attend anyhow locations except the selected ones and also where I originated from which is FESPRIS PRODUCTION

HOW WAS YOUR LAST PRODUCTION:
My last production WHEN LOVE FINDS YOU was a great one. All thanks to God almighty and my boss IYABO OJO whose got my back always to make the project a success one...she's always there for me and some other able hands around her...may God bless them all.

CAN YOU COMPARE THE BOTH PRODUCTION :
The comparison of my first film AWUSA in Yoruba and the just concluded one WHEN LOVE FINDS YOU...firstly, you know your first production is like your teacher and due to the fact that am a lover of good and quality productions, as my boss IYABO OJO is always my role model in terms of film making..so I decided to step up my game in putting such together..And in the market wise the piracy of a thing is really killing and affecting the Yoruba movie than the English, i nearly ran into debt during AWUSA .So as the entrepreneur that I am,I've got to push my self for my capital to yield a huge profit.

DID YOU GAIN ANYTHING FROM YOUR FIRST PRODUCTION:
No I did not make any profit from my first production, has I said early, I nearly ran into debt due to piracy.
My last production was another experience entirely. Coming from Yoruba settings and dabbling into English but am glad I took that bold step.

WHY :
Piracy! Hmmmm its seriously killing and that's why I decided to make my last production English because the piracy is not as worse as that of Yoruba market.

WHY DID YOU DECIDES TO INVITE DESMOND:
I invited Hon Desmond Elliot because I wanted an experienced person who can bring life into the script in terms of directing. And for the cost , whatever that is worth doing at all is worth doing well , that's why I invested such cost on the production.

TELL US ABOUT THE STORY :
"WHEN LOVE FINDS YOU "
WHEN LOVE FINDS YOU is a story of love that talks about loving someone who's does not even understand what and how u feel about him/her. Like they say u don't value what u have until its gone and u don't also know what u have been missing until it arrives. And that's the more reason why I shot it in English so it can go global because Love is a general language we all speak regardless of our culture, color, tribe, lifestyle and tradition.

YOU INVITED ENGLISH SPEAKING ACTORS KNOWING FULLY IT WILL COST YOU LOTS OF MONEY :
Yes I had the English speaking actors on my set because I wanted people that could interpret the roles so well in terms of speech, articulation , body gesture and characterization. Then I chose island due to the story line . of course it cost me so much and it's worth the cost. All thanks to my boss Iyabo Ojo .
Comparing Awusa and When love finds you. They are so different from each other in so many ways . financially, technicality, directing , language and cast . Awusa was Yoruba and not really a high budget movie and When love finds you was English and a high budget movie financially and I hope and believe that am gonna make profit from it compare to Awusa which I didn't make profit but I actually realized my capital . but not all about realizing capital alone but to maximize profit .

ANY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENT STUDYING UNDER A WOMAN :
I decided to study under an actress for easy breakthrough because I believe the best place for guy to study is under a lady and the best place for a lady to study is under a man because there won't be anything like competition between you because you are not of the same sex with your boss.
