Hello! My name is Godswill “Izu” Ekwunife, and I’m thrilled to be joining the vibrant and creative community here on Stage 32.
I’m just getting started in the creative space, and I’m passionate about telling bold, authentic stories, especially those rooted in contemporary African life and culture. I believe there’s so much richness in our everyday experiences, and I’m excited to bring that to the screen. Grateful to be here on Stage 32 and looking forward to learning, growing, and collaborating with fellow creatives!
With a background in law and a growing portfolio in creative writing and voice work, I’m especially interested in stories that sit at the intersection of culture, identity, and social impact; stories that reflect both personal truths and broader realities. And I am big on expansive world-building types like the Mad Max franchise, so count me in on that too!
I’m excited to learn, grow, and collaborate with the many talented creators here. Whether it’s swapping ideas, building scripts, or lending my voice to a compelling character, I look forward to being part of this inspiring global network.
Thank you for the opportunity, and I can’t wait to connect!

Hi, Godswill "Izu" Ekwunife. I'd like to see expansive world-building type African films. That kind of franchise would be fun to watch.
Here’s a blog for up-and-coming screenwriters I think you'll find helpful: www.stage32.com/blog/the-questions-up-and-coming-screenwriters-need-to-a...

Your passion for storytelling and commitment to authentic, culturally rooted narratives is incredibly inspiring. If you haven’t yet, I encourage you to join conversations in the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) where writers from around the world are sharing ideas, advice, and feedback. We also have the Writer’s Room (https://www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip), which offers a free first month and includes pitch practice sessions, executive panels, and workshops to help you develop your craft and network.
I also recommend reaching out to our Success Team at Success@Stage32.com. They’d love to hear more about your goals and help connect you with curated opportunities.
Excited to see what you create, and I hope you’ll keep us posted on your journey!
