Mobolaji is a storyteller/educator with Jamaican Christian and Nigerian Muslim parents. Growing up mediating multiple cultural identities has inspired him to use cinema as a tool to illuminate the superficial conditions that divide us and accentuate the merits of shedding our prejudices. He attended UCLA and the American Film Institute. His feature documentary, Ferguson Rises, won an Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival and represented Independent Lens/PBS at the Television Critics Association. Noted film critic Kenneth Turan called Ferguson Rises, “excellent and impressive.” Mobolaji is a Gotham/HBO Fellow and repped at UTA.
