Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde’s fourth child and son, Michael, made notable revelations in a new interview with Toluwani Eniola, on some things we all don’t know about her mum.
According to 16-year-old Michael who is an aspiring cinematographer and movie director, his mum was a Muslim before converting to Christianity in her secondary school days.
Here are excerpts from the interview;
Tell us about yourself.
I am 16 years old. I am an aspiring cinematographer and movie director.
Did your mother influence these interests?
I usually accompany my mother to movie locations. That experience attracted me to film-making and movie business in general. Anytime I watch a movie, I analyse it in a different way. Along the line, I discovered that cinematography is the right career path for me to pursue.
I have watched some movies. There is a huge difference between Nigerian and foreign movies, like the ones produced in the US and the UK. The storyline is different and the quality of the production is also different. I want to do something great with the camera. But I am not sure yet if I will shoot movies for Nollywood or be a Nollywood cinematographer. I am learning as much as I can. I might consider acting along the line as well.
What are your recollections growing up with your mother?
