Narratives won’t wait for you to be ready; they will be formed - with or without your permission. So tell your story or brace for the version told for or without you.

Tell your story.
If you don’t, people will tell it - either for you or for themselves.

[OtoObong Ekpenyong @owwteebee]

If we deem a story important enough to be told, we can choose the screen to tell it for and go ahead to tell it with the resources at hand.

[OtoObong Ekpenyong @owwteebee]

Not all stories told for screen will be for cinema (or even television) - for budgetary and other considerations.

Olu's short film Bliss and mine Blink were how we connected in 2013. He also recommended i meet James Omokwe who made 'Awakening' .We just talked about films.He was so incredibly knowledgeable. I remember him correcting me on The Kuleshov effect. He was just good. A good man.🕯️

🤔
Would you rather significant stories be untold than ‘mistold’ (read told badly)?

[OtoObong Ekpenyong @owwteebee]

“Hopefully I’m here tomorrow…” and the day after. 🙂

In sharing our stories meaningfully, identity matters. We define who we are by the identities we adopt. This articulation of ‘our place in the world’ gives us a sense belonging.

[OtoObong Ekpenyong @owwteebee]

Our stories are tied, in many ways, to our identities. Experiences we recount, tales we narrate, yarns we spin, are related to our ideas of who we are.

Embody your character, listen to the cues of your inner murmurs, follow your guiding values, commit to your quest, garner and deploy your cultural wealth, trust the process and your plot will unfold.

Star in the story of your life; be not just the active protagonist in the plot but the hero!
#Stories #Storytelling #QuoteMe

[OtoObong Ekpenyong @owwteebee]

You are, at best, a supporting character in the story of someone else’s life.

[OtoObong Ekpenyong @owwteebee]

I’m not one to be a ‘behalfer’. My place as a storyteller invited to the creative process is to give you agency to tell your story.

[OtoObong Ekpenyong @owwteebee]

I’m that guy that would point to a story that does and say: ‘Hey, that matters!
Is it my place to tell it?’

[OtoObong Ekpenyong @owwteebee]

It can be self serving to ‘front’ that we are promoting the interests of others - telling stories on their behalf.
