My name is Sanni Dhikrulah Olaniyi, a film producer and storyteller, and the founder of Signature Pictures Network. Inspired by classic soap operas like Super Story and productions by Wale Adenuga (WAP), I’ve been driven to create compelling African stories—like the masterpiece Ileke.
Ileke is my open letter to Nollywood and the global film industry—a powerful, original story deeply rooted in Yoruba spirituality, fashion, and culture.
Collaborating with Director Gafar Amoo has been transformative. From pre-production to post, his creative direction, VFX vision, and collaboration with every department made this project extraordinary.
Working with veterans brought wisdom and elite talent to the set. The young actors also exceeded expectations with passionate performances—an experience I look forward to repeating.
Taiwo “Taiyewo” Sanni and her team brought our vision to life through poetic, message-driven music. Huge thanks to Mr. Henry for professional sound engineering and mastering.
Every penny was intentionally spent. While film production is costly, strategic financial decisions helped us deliver excellence without waste.
I’m proud of this journey and grateful to everyone who contributed to bringing Ileke to life. I’ll continue championing authentic African stories that reflect our identity and creativity.
