CODENAME: BENT NECK LADY CLUE 6: TWO LIES AND A TRUTH

There’s something a little sexy about mystery, and I’m a fan of being the twist (literally LOL) at the end, so I can’t give away too much. Especially because, to start, no one has guessed my masked identity correctly quite yet.

Some might say I’ve got an association with MetFilm School.

They might also say that my favorite baby names come from the pumpkin-headed sidekicks of Ozian orphans, but who knows really?

Submit your guesses here!

Project Proposal

As the final project for my Master’s, and to utilise and expand on pre-existing skills obtained from previous postgraduate modules including Location Sound, Studio Production Skills, Negotiated Skills Development, Collaborative Practice, and Sound, Music & Image - it is my intention to undertake the reconstruction of the Sound Design for a fictional student short film entitled ‘I Saw the Light’, directed by my friend Will Johnston, of the MetFilm School in London. The film is a semi-auto-biographical tale of experiences growing up in a semi-rural, working-class setting, and dealing with existential angst. The style of the film is a relatively unorthodox approach, inspired by the work of many highly regarded social realist filmmakers. The film was shot over a three-day period of exteriors in Leeds, as well as a day of interiors in London, during late October 2020 - for which I was the exterior production Sound Recordist. There are many unique aspects of the film’s narrative, of which I believe will allow for a lot of sonic exploration outside of my normal methods and techniques, and I believe this project will be a great learning experience and invaluable to my progression and enhancement as a practicing storyteller.

I intend to keep this online diary as up to date and as thorough as possible, as it will be extremely useful in documenting both the progression of the project, keeping detailed accounts of any trials and tribulations throughout, but will act as a reflective device upon completion also - these particular strengths and/or weaknesses will be identified as I continue to shape my craft.

Taught my first class at @metfilmschool today, Character & Context. The students were engaged and well prepared, taking direction and notes well. I was able to see real progress in their character choices throughout the day. I am excited to continue following their progression and nurturing more of tomorrow’s future screen actors! #ActingCoach #ActingTracher #Actor #ActorLIFE #Actors #FilmSchool #MetFilmSchool #JaJaKwack #DreamJob 💕🙏🏼🎬🎭 (at MetFilm School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPDwwljEtj/?utm_medium=tumblr

A new direction

Tomisin Adepeju was determined to pursue his passion for film from a young age – and has gone on to win numerous awards for his craft. The acclaimed Nigerian-British director tells us more

WORDS BY ROSARIO BLUE

Tomisin Adepeju is a 29-year-old multi-award-winning Nigerian-British film director. The writer and creator of a number of very successful shorts, he is now making his first feature film, Omo Dada – The Good Son, a continuation of his renowned short of the same name filmed at his home in Catford.

The Nigerian-British experience can be expressed in a number of different ways and mediums – and film is Tomisin’s chosen platform. He explores faith, specifically the Christian faith; traditional Nigerian culture, such as respect for elders, wearing traditional attire and eating traditional Nigerian cuisine; and issues surrounding identity.

Born in Nigeria, Tomisin (full name Olúwatómisìn) moved to the UK aged 12 in 2002. To say it was a culture shock would be an understatement.

“I just remember thinking firstly there were a lot of white people everywhere,” he says. “And then it was cold – it really slapped me in the face. We got out the airport and there was this stuff coming out of my mouth – my breath. I was just so shocked. We came during winter, so we went from extreme heat to extreme cold.”

It took Tomisin some time to reconcile the resentment he felt towards his parents for uprooting his life. “Now as an adult I’m like, wow, you guys sacrificed more than me. You guys left a lot behind and didn’t look back. There were no regrets. Yes they suffered, but they suffered smiling because they were giving us the opportunity of a better life and I love them deeply. I think I make films to make them proud of me.”

Tomisin struggled to adjust to his new life in the UK. He had gone from a well-respected, middle-class home in sunny Lagos, where he had friends and attended a good school at which manners and discipline were stringently enforced, to an unwelcoming school and stark differences in culture.

“I was incredibly shy and I didn’t talk to people, I was in my own world and I was bullied as well, because I was just so timid and I didn’t speak up for myself. But I think all of this culminated because of coming here and the change of cultures and not being British enough.”

Although the world surrounding him was British, Tomisin’s home in Catford was a Nigerian one – and he struggled to balance the two.

“I realised I had two different identities,” he says. “While I was this Nigerian kid, my Nigerianness wasn’t celebrated; it was mocked. So I realised I needed to be somebody else, and I struggled trying to find out what that was. I tried to be British. I literally wanted to be like the British people because my accent was mocked, my way of dressing was mocked, my skin tone was mocked.”

He discovered his love of film at the age of 14 when he watched Woody Allen’s Annie Hall. He admits it might seem an incongruous choice to ignite his passion for film, since it tells the story of a Jewish man in love in New York in the late 1970s – an experience Tomisin obviously couldn’t relate to. But it was the way Allen drew the viewer into his characters and their world that captivated him.

“I watched films in Nigeria,” he says, “but [Annie Hall] was the first time a film had a very profound impact on me because it made me feel emotions I hadn’t felt before. It transported me to a whole new world. It was just really brilliant, and I wanted to know what this thing was – what this medium was. And so I watched all his films.”

Tomisin, the eldest of three siblings, was a model son – he got good grades in school and did not get into trouble. His parents expected him to study law and so he did, at Shooters Hill Sixth Form College, alongside film, philosophy and ethics, and English language and literature.

“To please my parents I did law the first year of college, and I hated it, I really hated it,” he says.

He found the courage in the second year to give it up. “I just couldn’t be quiet,” he says, “because film, it changed me so much. I knew so clearly that I wanted to be a film director, that I wanted to make films.”

But having gone against his parents’ wishes, he had to fund film school by himself. It took him four years, working as an usher in a theatre in the West End, to save up the £14,000 needed to attend the MetFilm School at Ealing Studios, where he studied for his MA in directing.

He took his studies seriously. “I couldn’t mess about. It was my hard-earned savings. I couldn’t just go there and waste that experience. Film school changed my life; it was a space to learn and grow. I was taught by Bafta-winning directors. And just learning the craft – how to direct, how to write scripts – was really wonderful.”

Tomisin was influenced by directors like Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson and he naturally began making films that imitated their work. But the films he has become known for are all his own voice. The Nigerianness he was ridiculed for has become what he is celebrated for.

His short film Omo Dada – The Good Son is about a young Nigerian man, home visiting his family from uni when an unexpected guest turns up and he is forced to come clean about a big secret he has been keeping from his traditional Nigerian parents. It is filmed in Tomisin’s native language Yoruba, with English subtitles.

The film was wildly successful, winning eight awards and screening at over 60 international film festivals.

“I would say The Good Son is my first film, because it’s the start of my journey as a filmmaker,” Tomisin says. “It explores who I am, and who I was as a 25 year old. And it really has shaped all the things I’ve made since.”

His second short, Marianne, filmed on Super 16mm film, won a further eight awards, and was followed by The Right Choice – an official selection at the Sundance film festival.

Tomisin’s most recent film is Appreciation. It is a visually stunning and deeply moving short film, about a Nigerian Pentecostal pastor who experiences a life-changing event that leads her to question her faith and all that she believes in. It, too, has been nominated for several awards and entered into numerous film festivals including the Oscar-qualifying Pan African Film Festival 2019.

Tomisin is now represented by United Agents in the UK and Creative Artists Agency in America, home to legendary directors like Jordan Peele, Steven Spielberg, JJ Abrams and Ang Lee.

He’s an exceptional talent and the epitome of resilience, fighting spirit, determination and perseverance – another success story to prove that being yourself is enough and no one can tell your story better than you can tell it yourself.
