We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Myde Glover a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Myde thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
To be very honest, I’ve always known I wanted to be an actor and filmmaker since I was a little boy. That’s all that made sense. It’s always been that for me. When other children my age said they wanted to become doctors, lawyers and the likes, It was always acting and filmmaking for me. And so I pursued that from the onset, studying theatre in college and starting professionally in film after that.
Myde, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My name is Myde Glover, I’m an actor, writer, producer, Director and content creator from Lagos, Nigeria. I started writing from a very young age, I wrote the play that was staged at my graduation from primary school coz I’ve always been creative. while studying Theatre and media arts in the university, I started writing and trying to film short films by myself but none ever worked lol. But after university, and knowing this is all I want to do, I went full time, attending auditions, sending tapes to directors and producers etc
I also successfully made my short film Point Zero and all this was in 2020.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
The fact that I can use my talent and creativity to reach millions of people around the world drives me. People need to see the stories I have to tell, to learn, grow and heal from it and not pursuing that goal makes me feel like I’ve failed.
Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
That creating opportunities for yourself is top tier.
