Identifying a prospect is the job of a very good scout. The film industry is full of awe for KiraaTV as the terrestrial television modifies the perspective of both film makers and the audience on how films should be qualitative. Big faces in the industry are already in contact with the television in order to work with her and be a part of the movement. The latest icon to join the train is Wale Rasaq, an award winning director who is to package four movies for the television. The movies he is packaging, stars a number of big faces in the Nollywood industry. Among the star actors are Peters Ijagbemi, Sukanmi, Wasiu Rafiu (AKA Oke), Baba Aderupoko, Londoner, amongst others. The first movie, Ewa Ife is a drama that exposes how the past of men haunt them in their present relationships and offers a dramatic way out of the embarrassing situation. Omogo, a comedy, highlights that no one is useless despite the physical, financial and mental challenges they go through. The other two; Shadows (Drama) and Omolokun (Comedy) typically exhibits the intelligence of the director.

He has directed lots of award winning movies and he has been contracted to make four movies for KiraaTV. The films are Shadows (the betrayal) – Drama; Ara Ife – Drama; Omogo – Comedy; Omolokun – Comedy.
The award winning director grew up with a veteran actor, Producer and Director in Nollywood – Dr. I Show Pepper (A veteran who worked with another legend in the film making world from Ososa, Chief Hulbert Ogunde). In his words, the veteran actor and his father were very close friends. He learnt some directing tricks on how films were made without the use of the special effects that are now readily available.
He went further to get his Higher National Diploma at the prestigious Federal Polytechnic, Offa, Kwara State and immediately returned to the film industry immediately after serving his father land in form of the National Youth Service Corps in 2002.
Little wonder the dynamic director is one of the most sought after film directors in the South West. The movies he has made for @officialKiraTV will be out soon in the cinemas.
