Guest Book
Fred Mayford aka Mr. Magic
I am from the Urhobo tribe of Delta State, Nigeria!
I come from a family of artistes whose late parents were pioneers of the Nigerian movie industry otherwise known as Nollywood.
My mother, late Felicia Mayford, was an award winning costumier (The Return) and make up artiste. (Battle of Musanga, Nneka the Pretty Serpent).
She was also an actress who had featured in over 100 home videos. She was Obidiya in Living in Bondage. Nneka's mum in Nneka the Pretty Serpent. Keppy's mother in To Have and to Cherish. Ramsey's mum in Blind Trust and so many more.
My father, late Roxy Mayford, was also a comedian and actor and took part in a lot of celluliod flicks in the english and yoruba genre.Some of his movies include; Kongi's Harvest, Ajani Ogun, Rise and fall of Dr. Oyenusi, The Boy is Good, Dinner with the Devil, Orun Mooru, Money Power, Mister Johnson etc.
I am also a journalist and scriptwriter who aims to excel in whatever I do. I was born in Feb, 1971 and I am an Aquarian.
I am a passionate filmmaker who aims to use my works to immortalise the contributions my late parents (Roxy and Felicia Mayford) have made to the growth of Nollywood.
To this end, I have directed Unknown Evil 1 & 2 and Enemies of the Law 1 & 2, Heritage of Sorrow 1 & 2, Disco Dancer 1 & 2, The Last Supper 1 & 2, Lonely Pain 1 & 2, Mysteries and Scrabbles 1 & 2 (Yet to be completed), The Cabal 1 & 2 (Soon to be released), The Commissioner's Wife(Yet to be completed).
My works have received critical acclaim in and outside Nigeria.
MYKINDOFMOVIES PRODUCTIONS is set up to give hope to and nurture fresh and up and coming acting, singing, modelling, writing and dancing talents.
I have realised that there are millions of refreshing talents who just pray to be discovered. They are languishing out there, sadly though. I am one of the few directors in Nollywood who give these talents their deserved breaks. See my works and you will attest to this fact.
At the beginning, it was very difficult, but today, viewers are beginning to appreciate this.
I aim to get better with each movie I shoot. I also feel that I have very big shoes to fill; considering the pedigree of my late parents.
I have also done some musical videos (I.O. Brazilly's Ghetto Nigga and ML Squad's Party Tyme) and a television drama series, Parables for Living, for NTA Yenagoa.
I like the colour torquoise, enjoy a lot of marine food and I’m fun to be with.
COME, TRY , AND DO BUSINESS WITH US!!!
I decided to have this site, so that a lot of people may find it easier to reach me, especially people interested in the services I offer.
I reside in Port Harcourt, Rivers State; the business nerve centre of the Niger Delta.
My works will give praise to JEHOVAH YAHWEH, MY ETERNAL ROCK OF AGES. It will also aim to show the rich cultural heritage of the Niger Delta region and how the people have been able to adapt to the nuances of the modern world.
To this end, we have written numerous scripts for television and the home video industry. They are awaiting sponsors to turn them into reality.
