South African actresses Nomzamo Mbatha and Mmabatho Montsho are set to be featured at the world premiere of renowned Nigerian director Akin Omotoso.
Speaking the director addressed reporters saying, “we needed actors that were comfortable enough to not have the security blanket of dialogue but really to trust their emotions and reactions to what was happening around them,” he said. Among the 60 films airing, the film will be displayed for the first time at the 6th Annual Blackstar Film Festival in Philadelphia, America this weekend. The director testified that he was pleased to present the film at the prestigious festival.
“I felt truly blessed. The film was very intimate even though we were shooting exteriors mainly. It was a peaceful, serene and unique organic and rewarding experience and I am looking forward to sharing it with an audience,” he said.
