Upcoming Nigerian Filmmaker, Doyinsola T. Ajayi has debuted an all-Indian cast movie, 'Where Tides Meet'.

In an official statement, she revealed that her all-Indian film, 'Where Tides Meet' will be screening on the opening night of the Mississauga Fringe Festival which will be held from August 19 to August 25, 2024.

Her introduction to filmmaking started with the 2022 edition of the Accelerate Filmmaker Project.

“Breaking glass ceilings and entering new territories. I directed a film with an all-Indian cast! Screening at the opening night of the Mississauga Fringe Festival.”

Ajayi shared how she navigated the language barrier throughout the film’s production.

“Someone asked, “How did you manage the language barrier? Truth is, when I got this opportunity, I never saw race or language as a barrier. It was a beautiful challenge to test my skills as a director. From the beginning of the project, I was clear about what I wanted and how I wanted it and I was privileged to work with a cast that listened to me and gave me their best performance.”


Having worked in marketing for almost a decade, Ajayi thought it was time to explore a different career path.

Her first two short films Do or Die and Maki have been selected and nominated for local and international film festivals, including Toronto International Nollywood Festivals.
