Entertainment industry giants and distinguished guests last weekend gathered at the City Mall in Lagos for the premiere of the new Nollywood family-friendly movie, Praise Party, which will hit the cinemas nationwide today, November 10th.
The event, which witnessed the first-ever public viewing of the debut cinematic effort of ace television actress, Anuli Ajagu, CEO of Brampton Production and RevAnuli Inc, two brands which collaborated on the movie, was a star-studded evening of elegance.
Speaking at the premiere, Ajagu, said, “This is a dream come true. It was an exciting experience producing Praise Party. It marks my debut as a film producer and also an executive producer; for which I am very grateful. It was also challenging combining multiple roles.”
The Executive Producer noted further, “The script was inspired by life. Life happened to me specifically in 2017. I had a major family crisis and then in 2021, my only sister passed away as a result of terminal cancer. Unfortunately, it got me thinking about the fact that we do not have all the time in the world to fulfil our dreams.
“I have wanted to make movies for about 30 years now. So, I decided to pick up the broken pieces of my life, trusting God; and here we are today with a movie called Praise Party.
“Despite all the challenges that all the different characters went through, it all ended in praise, which is exciting. It is a storyline that gives hope amid crisis”, she noted, while adding that the movie will start airing in various cinemas across Nigeria from November 10th.”
Set in Nigeria, the movie highlights the importance of community, seeking professional help, and how taking responsibility, counselling, faith, courage and forgiveness can be therapeutic; bringing healing and restoration to hurting souls.
Among the cast are Kunle Remi, Keppy Ekpenyong, Eberechukwu Bayray Nwizu, Tina Mba, Sola Fosudu, Chioma Nwosu, and Arinze Okonkwo.
