INTERVIEW: Why I went deep into Drama ministry- Samuel Adesunloye

My Name is Adesunloye Samuel Adedotun i hail from Ondo state. I have a passion to spread the message of Christ’s love and movie is the tool.

Had my first degree in Business Administration from Bowen University Iwo, Osun state. I attended the prestigious Mayflower school Ikenne and still on my MBA programme from A.A.UA.

It has been centered around Advertising, Marketing and Human Resource. I’m a professional H.R Person, an associate of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Managers and i would say all these have aided God’s work.

Hmmn… i have always acted. Errm, from as long as i can remember i featured in a number of children drama in church but drama for me really started when i gave my life to Chirst in my 100L. I used to be a very good pretender so when i yielded, i would say God took my pretence and turned it into acting. I joined the drama unit (D.B.B.S.F) of the university fellowship and since then God has not stopped His work.

Well… i got the calling into drama ministry around 2014 but i just didn’t know how to go about it. Some drama ministers and i started a movement then “Evangelical Invasion of Iseyin through drama” and many souls were impacted. So in May, 2016 i attended Mount Zion Institute of Christian Drama and my eyes and mind were open to a whole lot of things. Through God’s help i started a drama unit in the church i attended and we started from getting to minister during special programs to ministering every month and to every two weeks. God be praised!

January this year, He showed me it was time we went to a larger screen and He said i was going to be a Light. After lot of prayers and consultations. We started “Light Media Productions” because of His word. That was November 2018.

One of my hobbies is writing. I write poems and other fictional stories. I read a lot, also and a little bit counselling.

For now, we are focusing on short films and we have shot two short films, “Ugliest and Genuine” which is set to be released January 2019. After that, we are working on lot of messages and when production commences we will do well to contact you.

I honestly think it’s going in the right direction. It used to be just known for Message but you can see top professionalism and craft from recent movies.  This is where God is taking us to.

We are now getting gospel movies into cinema when some A-list secular artist are having problems with that. God is surely opening doors for us.

They are Light Media’s first project and the messages were borne out of the enlightenment of God’s “Genuine” love for us (man) that even in our “Ugliest” state, he loved and chose us. Genuine talks about God’s true love for man while Ugliest x-rays how filthy a man’s life is without God. It’s a movie that can be used for both evangelical and spirit re-awakening purposes.

This project is purely evangelical so it would be acessible at no particular cost. Once it is out it would be available on as many social media platforms as possible. From YouTube to Facebook. We are also working on having WhatsApp version of the movie. The charge is to spread God’s word to the uttermost part of the earth.

I don’t want to give a particular date now but the movie is ready and just waiting for divine direction on the particular date to release the work. The trailers are out already and the posters are already in circulation.

Thank you very much for having me.
