Director Tolu Ajayi shares in a statement, “my approach to making this narrative is basing characters who have real life approximates, with strengths, failings and deep character wounds. I was drawn to this story from memories from a corporate internship in my late teens. I observed ‘the masters of the Nigerian financial universe’ in Lagos during the financial boom of the 90ʼs. This experience tutored me in understanding these stories of corporate leadership, personal sacrifices and social consequences. Essentially revealing the axiom “Having it all also means Bearing it all.”

Tolu Ajayi, credited as a director on the recent Showmax psychological thriller series Diiche, is a filmmaker whose career spanning 20 years has created some of Nigerian advertising’s most memorable moments. His short film The Encounter, a historical fiction drama that explores the Nigerian civil war, screened at Nollywood 3.0 Metrograph New York 2018 and won Best Sound Track at AMVCA 2017.
