The feature film Mrs and Mrs Johnson, the first for female filmmaker Alexandra Hul has been nominated in three categories at the Abuja International Film Festival (AIFF).
The film, part of the Derwin First Shot Initiative by actress and producer Grace Edwin-Okon has been nominated for Outstanding Feature Film (Alexandra Hul), Outstanding Female Actress (Kiki Omeili) and Golden Judy film.
Grace Edwin-Okon made this known via social media.
Until Alexandra Hul came across the filmmaker Grace Edwin-Okon at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), she had been content with making short films.
The initiative provides an opportunity for young filmmakers who have never shot a feature-length film to do so.
The 90-minute Mrs and Mrs Johnson, the young filmmaker had told TheNiche in an earlier interview, is a tale of two women who find out that they are married to one and the same man after a chance meeting at the hospital. The film is their journey from betrayal to accepting their fate and the power to move on and how they will move on.
AIFF, conceived by filmmaker Fidelis Duker, takes place annually in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
