Only those who do not have passion for the job give in to sex for role- Ace filmmaker, Kehinde Adeyemi

ALLI, Mutiat

Ace filmmaker, Kehinde Adeyemi has lamented the need for government to weigh in support for the movie industry in terms of making funds available to the creative industry so as to facilitate the production of good movies to the viewers noting that filmmakers are more like mirrors of the society; just like India and America where their government give adequate support; Nigeria should also look imbibe such culture.

Kehinde Adeyemi who has been in the industry for over 20years where he started off with the Yinka Quadri and Taiwo Hassan’s led Odunfa caucus has since flourish in his career as an actor, film producer and production manager .

Having made appearances in countless movies, Kehinde shot into limelight after featuring in Jide Kosoko’s movie ‘Afomo’ also gave his taught on sex for role which is now rampant in the industry citing that only those who does not have passion for acting will be involved in that but as for him, he is married and doing well.

Giving comparison of the movie industry before what it is now, Kehinde noted that so many things have changed in the industry compared to when he joined about 20years ago where when you produce a film then, you can relax that the income can be used for something meaningful like getting a parcel of land and all that but reverse is the case now.

A vivid example is when I produced one of my film titled’ Oloko’ marketed by corporate pictures then, after my royalty on it, the marketer called me back and paid extra because they sold more than their expectations.
