Hi, I’m Tomiwa Kilo, a screenwriter and creative storyteller with over 6 years of experience shaping narratives across film, advertising, and music. I specialize in psychological, character-driven storytelling with a focus on emotional depth, symbolism, and minimalist narratives. I write feature-length scripts, develop character arcs, and craft dialogue that conveys subtext and tension, especially for single-location, small-cast projects that are production-ready for independent film.
