JANUARY 2022 UPDATE
Stanlee Ohikhuare's 2022 goals!
In 2022, none of my Gifts/Talents/Abilities will be idle. Get ready to see all of Stanlee Ohikhuare. At the dusk of 2021, I realized that I have been holding back the full expression of my creative prowess in diverse dimensions so, I have promised myself one thing - to spend my talents like an exceedingly rich man who is trying to spend all of his wealth, and go broke! In 2022, expect:
1. Stanlee Ohikhuare 's Acting debut
2. Stanlee Ohikhuare 's Published books
3. Stanlee Ohikhuare 's Music Album / Singles
4. Stanlee Ohikhuare 's Solo exhibition
5. Stanlee Ohikhuare 's New Animated movie
6. Stanlee Ohikhuare 's Creative Academy & Residency Program
7. Stanlee Ohikhuare 's Film Prolificity revisited.
Regarding Item seven (7), I have spent five years focusing more on other people through my film festival - Realtime International Film Festival hence, the noticeable "less emphasis" on myself, and my personal film career. The thing is... I genuinely enjoy being a support system for others to take advantage of. It's my calling as a Christian.
But who says I can't balance things up and retain my prolificity while still being a conduit to help others grow?
Long story short, I am back in FULL FORCE, starting with my new feature film titled #forthecitymovie . This will be closely followed by other features including #earth Movie, #TheGiftAndHateOfGod , #WillieWillie , and a couple of short films (as usual). I will also be releasing the documentary I made in honor of my late father, titled #MACO - We are complete. The awards will follow!
In addition to my filmmaking however, my #Identity as a #painter , #illustrator , #songwriter , #musician , and #actor will be unveiled!
You know that saying that the wealthiest place in the world is the Grave - (because of the many untapped talents buried with folks after they die)... That will not be my story! The parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14–30 comes to mind.
To achieve these things, I need money, and I need to be alive so, I fall back to my favorite scripture in Proverbs 22:4 which says "The reward for humility and fear of the LORD is riches and honor and life."
Good morning 2022! Good night lukewarmness!
