Myde Glover always knew he wanted to be an actor and filmmaker. Growing up, he spent hours watching Yoruba films, each with its own production company name. Inspired by these films, young Mide dreamed of having his own production company someday. He even created a name for it: Magic Media Studios.
Years later, that childhood dream became a reality. After attending numerous auditions with little success, Myde decided to take matters into his own hands. He wanted to create opportunities not only for himself but also for those around him. So, he teamed up with his friends Bolu Abiodun and Ola Jegede. Together, they made their first film, and Magic Media Studios was officially born.
Myde, Bolu, and Ola, the co-founders of Magic Media Studios, had a simple but powerful vision: to tell African stories to the world. They believed in the importance of sharing stories that resonate with their own experiences and culture. “Our stories are our stories,” Myde said. “We can’t be other people but us, and it’s very important to tell stories that resonate with us.”
At Magic Media Studios, the team focuses on creating beautiful films that reflect their society. They aim to produce stories where audiences can see themselves or someone they know. Myde, as the creative director, often brings story ideas to the team. They discuss and decide together whether to move forward with a project. This collaborative process ensures that every film they make is meaningful and authentic.
