Today we’re excited to be connecting with Samuel Archibong again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.
Samuel, thanks for joining us again. Just to level set a bit for folks who may have missed our last interview together, can you briefly introduce yourself?
I am the head and creator of Modern Oddity Records with a now extensive growth of Moddo cinema/films. I started off in the entertainment industry as a Efik youth dancer, to a recording and performing artist, venturing off into directing films and screenwriting and so forth. What sets me apart of course is my undeniable talent, my work ethic and confidence. The highlights of my journey is that I stay focused and determined seeing the light to the end of the tunnel.
Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.
I recently graduated from Full Sail University in September of 2024. As of January of 2025 I got inducted into the Texas Film Commission. I am in the process of writing, directing and producing, my first feature film. Of course I am still making music but it’s more for the fun of it and promotion at this point. I still have large aspirations to go mainstream which in due time I will do so. My solemn focus is to join the Directors Guild of America and grow from there,
We also want to give folks a chance to get to know you a bit better so we’ve prepared a fun lightning round of questions. Ready?
