Founder
My name is Tamunodiepiriye Samuel, but most people know me as Mr. Philip Samuel — the face behind Cold Carpet Ent.
Cold Carpet Ent is a dynamic, multi-dimensional entertainment and digital storytelling brand based in Lagos, Nigeria. We exist at the intersection of creativity, technology, and purpose, offering original content that entertains, educates, and resonates with Africa’s fast-growing, highly connected audience.
Founded by Tamunodiepiriye Samuel (also known as Mr. Philip Samuel), Cold Carpet Ent is more than just a brand — it’s a movement for young storytellers, creators, dreamers, and doers.
At Cold Carpet Ent, we believe that stories are powerful tools. Whether they’re told through film, skits, music, or digital content, stories have the power to challenge perceptions, shape identities, and spark real change.
To create content that entertains with depth, inspires with clarity, and empowers creatives to tell authentic African stories with a global standard.
To become one of Africa’s most influential independent entertainment brands — producing digital content, films, and creative experiences that leave lasting impact both locally and internationally.
We specialize in end-to-end content creation, combining visual storytelling, social media engagement, and digital innovation to capture attention and drive emotion. Our services include:
We conceptualize and produce engaging, meaningful short films, monologues, and skits — crafted for digital-first platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Our productions focus on family, identity, hustle, faith, and social change.
We use storytelling to connect with Gen Z and Millennial audiences through relatable characters, humor, real-life situations, and trending themes. Our content not only entertains, but inspires thought and dialogue.
With over 4 years of professional experience in technical support for Microsoft products (Windows OS, Office 365, OneDrive), we bring a rare fusion of technical structure into the creative world. We provide support for creators and brands looking to scale their media through better tech practices.
Through our partnership with Generation God's Geng, we create spiritually uplifting, genre-bending soundtracks. Cold Carpet Ent is also a platform for showcasing upcoming gospel and inspirational talents.
We all know what a red carpet symbolizes — glitz, fame, and recognition.
But Cold Carpet? That’s where the grind happens. The sleepless nights. The practice. The waiting. The rejection. The learning.
Cold Carpet Ent is for the creators before the fame — for those hustling in silence, building their voice, and crafting their vision. It's a tribute to the raw, unfiltered journey of every creative who believes in their gift before the world does.
From Port Harcourt to Lagos, from tech support floors to Nollywood screens, Tamunodiepiriye Samuel has lived the journey that Cold Carpet Ent embodies.
Through Cold Carpet Ent, Philip channels all these passions into a singular mission: to build a platform that educates, entertains, and empowers through quality content.
✅ Authenticity – We create content that’s real, raw, and rooted in African identity
✅ Excellence – Whether it’s a skit or full-length project, we deliver with global standards
✅ Faith & Purpose – We believe every gift comes from God and should serve a higher purpose
✅ Innovation – We’re tech-driven, future-ready, and creatively bold
✅ Collaboration – We grow through genuine partnerships, not competition
Cold Carpet Ent isn’t just an entertainment brand — it’s a life experience. It’s a digital movement. A community. A story in motion.
If you're looking to laugh, learn, cry, reflect, and grow — you’ve found the right place.
If you’re a creative, dreamer, or collaborator ready to work with us — let’s connect.
“The carpet may be cold, but the fire inside us burns stronger.”
