Meet Kingsley Amadi, the talented actor up for the Favourite Web Series Actor Award for his portrayal of Dan in the web series SPIN. In a double whammy he is also the Director of Snowpix Media, the company behind SPIN which is up for the Favourite Web Series Award.
Experienced both on the stage and in front of the camera, why take on the world of the web series? Why not? Kingsley said:
"I originally wanted to create something I’d want to watch, not knowing the buzz it would pick up in such short time. We plan to finish SPIN and possibly another season and also launch a new web series called 'JUICY'."
It couldn’t have been easy; as all web series producers know the learning curve can be an interesting and stressful one.
"Creating SPIN I learnt I needed to film all the episodes prior to release, but I was caught off guard at first."
Even so, they have gone on to produce one of the most popular series on the web. In addition to this, Kingsley also lists being established in the UK media industry and creating music videos for up and coming Afro-pop musicians as his proudest achievements to date. When asked why people shout vote for him and well as the web series SPIN, the multi-talented Kingsley said:
"We are very hard working and driven. We have the young active and creative minds it takes to break barriers. We believe in results, we only want recognition for the hard work of everybody involved in the creation of SPIN, to keep going and creating magic for the supporters of web series."
