Cast: Sadiq Baba, Kayode Olaiya, David Bailie, Kehinde Bankole, Kunle Afolayan, Fabian Adeoye Lodeje, Femi Adebayo, Kanayo. O. Kanayo, Bob Manuel, Nick Rhys Screenplay: Tunde Babalola Director: Kunle Afolayan October 1 is one movie that was highly anticipated by myself and am sure a whole lot of people. I actually thought the movie was going to be basically about how Nigeria gained her Independence, but the writer proved me wrong. Ouch! I cannot wait to get into the review part *rubbing palms* it’s going to be a joy ride, for the car is set in motion. The movie is going to be thorn into parts for you to know it’s a great, good or… Bad movie. Worth the hype or not! Review: A girl runs through a dark forest scared of something unknown… well I guess that was how … wrote the teaser of October 1, what can I say, but I loved it! I loved the suspense right from the very start of the movie. So at the very start of the movie, a red moon in a dark night, screams are hea...
It is no news that there has been immense growth in
The Nigerian film industry from time past up until this moment and those that
have played a huge part in this growth apart from the actors with their acting
finesse, are the producers, directors, screenwriters, editors and makeup
artists, without them, there will be no film.
Today our Beam is on the talented film producer
Judith Audu Foght. She started out as an actress in the film industry, and
sources say she is a producer that seeks only the best, it’s no wonder she
produces the best.
Judith Audu who was born on the 1st of
July, she grew up in Navy Town, where she also attended Navy Town Primary
School Ojo, from 1988 to 1993 and Secondary School, from 1993 to 1999. She obtained
a Diploma in French Language, from The French Language Village, Badagry in
2001. And In 2005 Judith obtained a B.A in French, and a Master’s Degree in
Public and International Affairs in 2010, all from The University of Lagos.
That’s some profile!
The ‘Midas touch Producer’ made her first short
film, which was on domestic violence titled ‘Not Right’ in 2014, the film was
nominated for awards at the Best of Nollywood Awards, Nollywood Movie Awards,
and the Abuja International Film Festival, that same year! In December 2014,
Judith won the award for Best Actress at the In-Short International Film
Festival, for her role in the Short-film, Alpha Mom. The same movie was also
nominated for the 2015 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards for the ‘Best Short
Film’ category. Whoop!
In 2016, Mrs. Foght Produced and premiered her first
Feature length film, under her Production Company, Judith Audu Productions,
titled ‘Just Not Married’, and in the first week of its release topped cinema
ratings across the Nation. Oh, I almost forgot, she also won the award for the
‘Best Actress’ at the Nollywood Awards for the same film!
The film ‘Just Not Married’ also won two awards this
year at the just concluded ‘TAFF’. Of course, we cannot forget the film ‘Stormy
Hearts’ which was produced this year, the film gained a wide reception from
viewers. Darn! Way to go Judith Audu Foght!!! *All Hands Up*
