I’m Dami Elebe — screenwriter, aspiring director and the founder of Avari Studios. I tell African stories for local and global audiences, the messy, beautiful, complicated and hilarious kind.
My journey has taken me from radio and advertising to writing for television and streaming platforms, with a constant love for storytelling and the people at the heart of it.
I’m a self-taught screenwriter with a deep love for character-driven stories. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working on projects that have connected with audiences across Africa and beyond, including Far From Home, Fatal Seduction, The Men’s Club, Flawsome and more.
I’m particularly passionate about African stories that travel — stories that reflect our realities, complicate our narratives and show the full range of who we are.
Avari Studios
Through Avari Studios, I’m developing original African stories for film, television and digital platforms. It’s a space for bold ideas, fresh voices and the kind of stories I wish I saw more of growing up.
