The film tells the story of the only daughter of one of the richest and most powerful men in the country. Father and daughter love and admire each other dearly, but when their dreams clash, they embark upon a monumental psychological, emotional and physical battle as they become the biggest obstacle to each other’s happiness.

 

The film is scheduled to shoot in the latter part of 2015 with a line-up of top talent from Nigeria, South Africa, U.S.A. and UK in front of and behind the camera.

 

“I’m really excited, I never thought my next project would be a short film; but when Dapo sent me the script, I was hooked! It is a fantastic script with great characters and I can’t wait to start working with the world-class team we’re putting together. I’m thrilled about what we are about to do with this film and for the world to see it,” the director said.

 

Talking Drum Entertainment, which distributed her last film, will handle distribution strategy and sales.
