Amina
Following the critical success of his last feature film, the historical drama ‘76 (which took home 5 AMVCAs, including ‘Best Film’), the talented filmmaker Izu Ojukwu goes for an even grander follow-up with Amina.
Loosely based on the legend of Amina, the Muslim warrior Queen who allegedly ruled the city of Zazzau (now Zaria) sometime around the 16th century, the movie will follow her growth from precocious child to eventual ruler.
Nigerian Prince
Almost a year ago, Nigerian-American filmmaker, Faraday Okoro beat out three other promising filmmakers to win a $1 million grant to make a feature film that will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival later this year.
Nigerian Prince follows a stubborn Nigerian-American teenager, who after being sent to Nigeria against his will, joins forces with an internet scammer in order to return to the United States.
