Filmmaker Todimu Adegoke collaborates with veteran producer Chris Odeh on the gripping psychological thriller ‘Choke’. In a career-defining creative partnership, rising Nigerian filmmaker Adegoke joined forces with ace producer Chris Odeh (Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story, Nneka The Pretty Serpent, Living in Bondage) as Development Executive and Co-Producer on the feature film Choke, a dark, psychological thriller that delves deep into trauma, mental deterioration and the thin line between guilt and redemption.

Produced by Sozo Films, Choke follows a disturbed young man grappling with his fractured mind, unhealed pain and a world that refuses to give him peace. With its atmospheric tension and daring subject matter, the film pushes the boundaries of mainstream Nigerian cinema.

Todimu Adegoke played a vital role in steering the project from its early development through to production. His narrative instincts, deep story analysis and creative oversight helped fine-tune the film’s emotional trajectory and sharpen its psychological intensity. As co-producer, he also contributed strategically to the film’s creative direction and production design, ensuring a unified cinematic tone.

Speaking about the collaboration, Chris Odeh said: “Todimu’s work on Choke elevated the story’s complexity and emotional resonance. He brought a fresh, fearless perspective that helped the film stand out both narratively and visually.”

Choke has since been recognized for its bold storytelling and socially conscious themes, bringing mental health discourse to the forefront of Nigerian cinematic conversation. Todimu Adegoke’s contribution to the film not only reinforces his growing reputation as a powerful behind-the-scenes force but also affirms his position among Nigeria’s next generation of visionary filmmakers.
