Three peculiar things define a journey;
the point at which it starts, the headed destination and what lies between. Just like the journey of life itself,
starting from the womb, where a single cell transforms into a developing embryo
and there's a periodic growth and transitions ensue, so does it occur
dramatically, through every aspect of an individual's existence, most
especially when the elements involved are innate.
The concept of Joself Pictures was
conceived out of an in-born passion for creativity embodied by the
founder/creative director, Mr Adeleke
Joseph Adeyemi; a graduate of English/Literature from the University of
Lagos, Nigeria.

Mr Adeleke Joseph nurtured his passion
with consistency and perseverance from a very young age and through his years
as a university student.
He gained admission into the University
of Lagos in 2012 and two years into his degree program, he decided to run
alongside, a part-time diploma program at Graig Philips College of technology;
a Canadian affiliated school located in Maryland Lagos. There he studied
Film-Making as a major course and took selective classes in Graphics-Design and
Animation.
He was privileged to receive first hand
mentorship from some notable and highly esteemed personalities in the
entertainment industry. Individuals who are well known for their great achievements
in the art of film-making, as their works excellently showcase their degree of
expertise. He will proudly attest to the fact that the immense contributions of
these great people, knowledge wise and career wise has helped him through his
personal journey as a young film-maker. His success story will therefore not be
complete without mentioning the likes of Mathew Simpa, Femi Bamigbetan and
Tunde Olaoye, who is an award winning director, well known for his directing
performance in the popular comedy series Jenifa's diary, Family-Ties amongst
many others. He also has the award winning movie titled 'Married But Living
Single' to his credit.
These great people harmoniously groomed
him through his days at the film school and till today, he looks up to them for
inspiration and guidance.
Following the successful completion of
his course at Graig Philips college, He proceeded with his career as an
independent film maker, using the little equipment and resources at his
disposal to create little visual contents to entertain the campus audience. His
very first short film titled 'Tears' was shot with an HTC phone and it
instantly went viral, catching the attention of some big names in the industry
who gave some critical remarks on the standard of quality of the film through
the influence of his teacher - Tunde Olaoye, That in turn became a source of
motivation and propellant for him as it gained him more popularity among the
students and subsequently increased his fan base.
Not long after that, He got a slot for
an exclusive interview with Unilag F.M through his very good friend Kunbi Black
who currently works as a presenter at Nigizie TV.

muse up ever since, effortlessly making bold and giant steps towards achieving
his set goals. He is currently the creative director for Afrique L'Timeline and
