RISING STAR: KEMI LALA AKINDOJU

Kemi Lala Akindoju got her start in the movie industry in 2007, with the team that started the Theatre At Terra initiative at Terra Kulture, with Wole Oguntokun, working in everything from her main goals of acting to managing money and people.

In 2013, she has made big screen debut in Charles Novia's 'Alan Poza', worked as a casting director for the NdaniTV web series 'Gidi Up', and performed in the musical play, 'Kakadu'. She was also part of a delegation of Nigerian actors who performed at the "Nigeria House" during the 2012 Olympics, starring in all three plays that were staged, as well as juggling other responsibilities in production.

Earlier in 2013, her production company staged a set of performances of The V-Monologues, starring industry heavyweights like Bimbo Akintola, Taiwo Ajai Lycett and Dakore Akande. The shows held to rave reviews, not just for the acting talent but for the ability of whoever was behind it, to put it all together.
