Rogers Ofime’s interests in acting and filmmaking started when he was a young schoolboy in Ebute Metta Lagos, Nigeria. Very close to his family residence in Ebute Metta was Mapol Guest House where stage plays were rehearsed by the likes of late veteran actor Sam Loco Efe. On a certain day on his way back from school, Ofime saw actors rehearsing at the guest house and he joined the crowd to watch them. He eventually got home late in the evening that day and his father scolded him and instructed him against such behaviour, little did he know there was more to come. The next day, he went back to join the actors and he was severely reprimanded by the father. In spite of his father’s reproval, Ofime was undaunted and he kept on going back as he was greatly fascinated by the acts and he soon joined “The Young Kolanut Group” at the age of 9.

The drama group was created to discover and train budding kid actors. Ofime’s outstanding performance and dexterity caught the attention of late Sam Loco Efe who took great interest in him. Through the intervention and persuasion of an uncle and Sam Loco Efe, Ofime’s father was convinced to allow him take the path of his passion and dreams. As a kid actor, he travelled around the country to perform stage plays with the leading actors at the time, and those experiences made it easy for Ofime to discover and own his niche from a young age.

Growing up, Ofime looked up to mentors such as Erika Klopper, Desiree Markgraaf, Tade Ogidan, and Richard Mofe Damijo. He also greatly admires the work of Steven Spielberg and Tyler Perry. Rogers Ofime’s first major opportunity as a film producer was offered by Tade Ogidan, a foremost Nigerian director.

In 2001, Ofime began producing movies, television series, and commercials as a television production manager in Lagos, Nigeria and by 2005, Ofime partnered with South Africa-based film company, Sky Sweeper Films to produce TV commercials. During that time Ofime produced his first set of television commercials which enjoyed notable success and admiration.

Having noticed his outstanding performance and exceptional work ethic, in 2007, Ofime was head-hunted by top South African media company M-net and was tasked with the responsibility to produce a daily soap opera, Tinsel on the M-net/Africa Magic platform. And that opportunity was Ofime’s big break in the television and film industry. The producer role on Tinsel was offered by Erika Klopper who greatly admired and believed in him. According to Ofime, "She believed in me when everyone doubted my ability to deliver a studio-based multi-cam daily series."

While working on Tinsel, he worked with a 120-member film crew, 15 recurring actors, and 500 supporting actors. The show went on to become one of the most viewed television series in Africa, having a viewership of several millions and syndicated across 48 African countries on satellite and local television stations.

With the success of Tinsel in the bag, Ofime having made his mark was later handed a huge production project by M-net to develop a telefilm initiative by putting together a team of over 120 film crew members to produce at least 80 telefilms in 2013, 60 telefilms in 2014 and 40 telefilms by 2015. The movie project initiative, which was a resounding success was called the Africa Magic Original Films (AMOF) project.

Ofime later relocated to Canada to set up his own production company, Theatron Media Incorporated. With the launch of Theatron Media, he has worked with several notable film producers and directors including Juliette Hagopian, Robert Peters, Curtis Graham, Paul Sunderman, and Steve Morrisson.
