Nollywood movie, Eyimofe (This is My Desire), will premiere in Lagos on April 18 at the EbonyLife place in Victoria Island.
This will be followed by a cinema release across the country on April 23. The movie tells the story of two Nigerians, Mofe, a factory technician and Rosa, a hairdresser embarking on a quest for a better life as immigrants in Europe.
It is produced, written and directed by twin brothers Arie Esiri and Chuko Esiri on their directorial debuts.
While speaking about the movie, the brothers, said: “Eyimofe is very special to both of us – not just because it’s our first full-length feature, but due to the amazing support we have received from the cast, crew, and a host of backers.
‘’We’re grateful to GDN Studios for allowing us to tell this touching story without compromising on production values and for helping to give the film the global exposure it has received. Audiences abroad have taken this movie to their hearts and we look forward to having Nigerians embrace it, even as they discuss some of the issues it raises about the human condition.”
Eyimofe stars Jude Akuwudike, Tomiwa Edun, Temi Ami-Williams, Cynthia Ebijie, Chioma Omeruah and Jacob Alexander.
Maiden Alex Ibru, Toke Alex Ibru, Olorogun Oskar Ibru, Kayode Akindele and Ifeoma Esiri serve as executive producers.
In addition to being a Berlin International Film Festival feature, Eyimofe was one of 10 projects chosen for 2019’s IFP Narrative Lab in New York. It was also a 2018 Purple List Award winner.
