Something big is about to hit the movie scene as Chioma Omeruah, (a.k.a) ‘Chigul’, stars in the comedy film entitled: ‘Banana Island Ghost (B.I.G),’ by Biola Alabi Media (BAM) and Nemsia Films.
According to the brains behind the new movie, B.I.G is a slapstick movie about a ghost that is scared to go to heaven because he doesn’t have a soulmate, so he convinced God to give him three days to fall in love. He is paired with the cantankerous firecracker – Ijeoma, played by Chigul – who will do anything to save her father’s house in Banana Island from the bank coming to reclaim it in three days.
It is the first from a slate of five films in a co-production partnership between Biola Alabi Media (BAM) and Nemsia Films. They are combining their creative capabilities and wealth of experience to produce a slate of ground-breaking films set to redefine Nollywood.
According to the CEO of BAM, Biola Alabi: “This partnership with Nemsia Films, which is headed by BB Sasore and Derin Adeyokunnu – is part of our mission to work with great talents to tell great African stories for a local and global audience. The Nemsia team brings a fresh perspective and energy to the Nollywood landscape, Nemsia Films is the company behind the production of ‘Before 30’, the most watched African show.”
The film, scheduled to be released this summer, also starred industry heavyweights like Ali Nuhu, Bimbo Manuel, Damilola Adegbite, Dorcas Fapson, Patrick Diabuah, Saheed Balogun, Tomiwa Edun, and Uche Jombo.
