Recent work exuding the rich, prismatic worlds Ademola creates includes an earth-conscious brand film for House of Marley; the music video for Sidibes single Place For You & I,where a woman falls in love with a man trapped inside a painting; and Fearless Leader, a commercial he co-directed with MJZ director Fredrik Bond for Northwell Health, which won a Muse Award for Creativity. Currently, Ademola is in post-production of a film titled Ellas Vinieron de las Nubes, an experimental documentary about the Afro-Mexicans of La Costa Chica.<\/p>\n
Ademola believes that truth and authenticity of expression is essential for brands to connect with todays consumers: The brands that excite me most are the ones that are brave enough to be vulnerable and answer to a larger purpose, such as social justice, mental health, mindfulness, and sustainability in their marketing.<\/p>\n
Outside of the commercial world, the LA-based director keeps busy writing and directing original films. His recent short film, I Dreamed of Seeing Myself, will screen at the 2022 Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival. Combining video, painting, drawing, photography, and performance, the film is a surreal exploration of self-identity and African experience. He also recently starred in an episode of Hulus Your Attention Please, a series on Black innovators and creators who are leaving their mark on the world.<\/p>\n
Ademola is also renowned in art scenes from Lagos, Nigeria, to New York City. Last month, his triptych video installation titled I Forever Am(2021) displayed as part of a group exhibition produced by the NEW INC-supported Black Beyond in partnership with Parsons School of Design. He is also the recipient of the 2021-22 Kala Media Art Award and Fellowship and has been awarded residencies at Caldera Arts (founded by Dan Wieden); the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts; and Pocoapoco.<\/p>\n
From the very first project we did together, I could tell the WTBR ecosystem was just different, concludes Ademola. Tim and [WTBR Founder\/Executive Producer] PJ [Koll] just seemed to get it as they put a lot of trust in the artist while upholding client integrity. I'm thrilled to make magic with them.<\/p>\n
