Filmmaker, Director, Producer, and a Script Writer
My Name is Tunde Sobowale a scriptwriter, film producer, and director. Based in Randburg, Johannesburg. I worked with a storyboard to meticulously map out “every tiny detail and
Every single eye line to interpret great stories
Ask any hardcore fan of a recent movie champagne a film by a very prominent female producer Emen Esong, you will be told I was behind it all from the planning process to the final shoot as a production manager on set.
I directed the many movie titles like Game Over, Greed, Total Deceit, Dangerous Trends, Hidden Parcel, etc.
The famously chilling montage on Urbantv as the transmission Director and also the producer of the brightest show on Africa Magic, Dstv title GOOD MORNING AFRICA, are shows I did with strong knowledge of media and film for decades.
During his five-year tenure as a director and, eventually, transmission director and producer for most programs on Urbantv, a creative tv station based in Johannesburg. Tunde became so established as he inspired Good Morning Africa on Africa Magic and Ghana on point on Urbantv, and many more, to so many successful episodes.
Breaking down a script and compiling a shortlist by putting himself in the position of a frightened TV watcher is something that Tunde picked up more than 10 years ago. After two and half years as co-executive producer with Africa Empire Productions, he convinced executive producers Wale Akinlabi to let him direct an episode in Good Morning Africa, a lifestyle entertainment content on Dstv, the show went on to win many awards.
Tunde Sobowale Often see images and ideas that he will like to share with others. This is how his films come about. I enjoy experimenting with so my work which covers a wide range of subjects, styles, and techniques: documentaries, shorts, promotional, music videos, feature films and more!
