Abraham Adeyemi believes his only limitation is himself. I ask the screenwriter, director, producer and retired playwright about his new short film ‘Chasing The Night’ with Film4, writing his way into new opportunities with his debut award-winning short film ‘No More Wings’, maintaining friendships despite his busy schedule, the creative writing process he swear by, and what kept him motivated when he hit an all-time low.

Perfect Prose: Tolani Shoneye

Welcome to another episode of Perfect Prose! The new bonus series where I ask guests about their favourite words written by a Black writer.

What do you all think of the concept so far? Do you love it or hate it? Either way, I'm really enjoying hearing guests gush over the pieces of writing that have moved and inspired them. Let's keep it one hundred, we don't always take the time to really process what we are reading, watching and even listening to, but I do love how this bonus series is encouraging people to do just that. And Tolani Shoneye picked a good one. Enjoy!

Caleb Azumah Nelson

Caleb Azumah Nelson has carved out a lane for himself. He's an author, screenwriter and photographer who burst into the literary world with his debut novel Open Water in 2021, and has since won several awards and released his second book Small Worlds. What I loved the most about our conversation, is how Caleb articulates his creative writing process, love for words, and how music is a key component to making his work sing. But I won't ramble on, and will allow you to make up your own mind about this talented writer. Take at least one thing away from this episode.
