Top Comedian AY Is Now A Film Producer; Shooting a movie In US
Top Nigerian comedian
Ayo Makun aka AY, is currently in the US producing a film entitled 30
Days in Atlanta – the adventures of Akpos. The film, which is said to be
a Romantic Comedy stars Hollywood stars like Lynn Whitfield, Vivica
Fox, and Karlie Redd. Of course, he wouldn’t shoot a film without
Nollywood and Ghollywood heavyweights represented (the film is about
Akpos, remember), so the likes of Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD), Desmond
Elliot, Ramesy Nouah, Rachael Oniga, Omoni Oboli, Ada Ameh (an Akpos
film will be deficient without her), Juliet Ibrahim, Majid Michel are
all on ground for the “work”, not forgetting that AY himself is an
“actor” and will be featuring in the film.
30 Days in Atlanta is planned to be shot in Locations in Atlanta, USA, and Lagos Nigeria.
“This one
is the first Movie I would produce. It’s like having your first child.
It brings so much joy. Interestingly, the story also is mine. I’ve
watched the movie countless times in my imagination, and I’m so
fulfilled seeing the physical equivalent of my dreams unfold in my
lifetime here in Atlanta. “It’s been a family affair on set. I have a
great cast and crew here. We love and respect one another. Everybody
knows what to do and when to do it. Honestly, I’m enjoying every bit of
the shoot. “We hope to wrap shooting up by the end of the October, and
God willing by November 3rd, we shall begin the Nigeria-Phase of the
Shoot.”
