Author/Filmmaker...this man is quietly explosive, artistically speaking. And that is not just my opinion! Until you have worked with him or have tasted but a morsel from his full bag of creative goodies, you would never begin to understand his rarity and might then, appreciate his not-so common talent.
Don Okolo is vastly talented as an Author, and a Filmmaker. More than half a dozen Independent Feature Films under his belt; over a hundred Screenplays to his credit; five fiction-based books in different genres in his name (Yeshua, My Love, Twelve Million Nights, Bagersville...The 12th Gate, Sodom City, and Blue Martini). www.donokolo.com.
Some of known Hollywood names that featured in Don Okolo's movies include Lew Temple ("Unstoppable"), Thomas Michael Ford, Charnele Brown, Kool Mo Dee, Zeus Lister, and Sherman Augustus.
Generally, limited or no resources discourage many filmmakers in Nollywood industry. Yet, they manage to produce great movies for our viewing pleasures. Clearly, Nollywood Industry is evolving because of the very creative minds of a handful of Screenwriters, Directors and Producers like Don Okolo and Nkem DenChukwu of Street Corner Films. However, Don Okolo is one of the best Writers/Directors out of Nollywood.
The quality of his work speaks for itself. Some of his recent work include: The Land (2011), PAGE 36 (2012), Gem of the Rainforest (2013), and A Pound of Flesh (April 2014).
