Olushola Michael is one of Nigeria’s filmmaker/actor who has proven his worth in the industry over the years with several accolades and appraisals to his works. With over 40 films and counting, he is not taking a break on serving more quality productions to the movie audience.
With a firm love for the industry, he has embarked on a new mini film studio project in Lagos which is bound to be a strong support system for the industry. Excited Olusola revealed that he could not wait to serve the good people of Lagos. Speaking further he said, “We are fully open for operation and this is going to be the beginning of a complete feel of great entertainment. Elixir is a mini film studio, where all kinds of activities, like shooting a complete movie, TV-sitcom, live interview, residential lodge, house party, commercial, TV-presentation, and many more can be carried out. One uniqueness of Elixir is that, every set is moveable and can be created to producers taste.”
Elixir has its own set for police station, hospital, Church, Mosque and more but it’s indeed a studio every movie maker needs to explore to ease the stress of moving about just to get a good location for production.
On what inspired the name Elixir, he said, “I don’t believe in naming things after you, even the official name for the whole organization is Ivy League Productions not Olusola Michael Production, there’s no point naming an organization after you. Everything you do lives after you so if you do it well, you don’t need your name.”
