In a chat with DAYLIGHT.NG, the multi-talented director of the hit movie, Broken Water-Pot, said his passion for filmmaking in Nollywood knows no bounds and there is nothing stopping him.

Speaking further, the Benin City, Edo State born Osasogie disclosed that his career in Nollywood kick started in 2005, when he joined the industry as a production assistant.

However, Osasogie has risen to the pinnacle of his career through dint of hard work, perseverance and God’s love.

“God and hard work have taken me this far in my Nollywood’s odyssey. After working for few years as a production assistant on various movie sets, I eventually upgraded my training and became a continuity man in 2007, then in 2010, I took my game higher by becoming a movie editor.

And to God be the glory, in 2012, I completely elevated my craft by producing and directing my first movie-Broken Water-Pot and ever since it has been success stories all the way,” he hinted amid smiles.

While shedding more light on his achievements in Nollywood, the amiable and passionate filmmaker with six short films, three feature length films and one historic documentary to his filmmaking credit, further revealed that work had reached advanced stage on his forthcoming cinema movie.

“We are keeping the title of this big budget movie under wraps for now, pending when we are fully ready to unleash it to Nigeria and the rest of the world. We have set aside the first week of October for its world premiere. It will break in all Nigerian cinemas the week preceding the premiere. We have in so much into this project. Nollywood has done so much for me and my career and the only way I can pay back is to remain focused and steadfast on my job as a professional filmmaker,” maintained the 30-year-old budding filmmaker based in Edo State.
