A film “ANGELA” by Institute of Strategic and Development Communication,  Nasarawa State University, Keffi won top  selection to open the 12th edition of Zuma Film Festival (ZUFF 2022), with the theme: “Show the Money’’.

In a press statement signed by Senior Project Manager, Uzoma Onyegbadue, Institute of Strategic and Development Communication Nasarawa State University, Keffi Nasarawa State said the 12th Zuma Film Festival was organized by the Nigeria Film Corporation (NFC) in collaboration with the Federal Capital Territory Administration between 1st and  7th May, 2022 at the prestigious Nicon Luxury Hotel and International Conference  Centre, Abuja.

The statement said “Angela”, is the result of a three-week residency program (Film Production Workshop: from conception to post-production) at the National Film Institute, Jos,  by Azubuike Erinugha, a Nollywood Europe producer and doctoral candidate of the Institute of Strategic and Development Communication (ISDEVCOM), Nasarawa State University Keffi, Nasarawa State.  

The statement revealed that, Mr. Azubuike Erinugha led an assemblage of professional crew comprising of students and alumni of the National Film Institute with Stephen Okoh doubling as assistant director and production manager while Veteran Nollywood actor, Chief Francis Duru led the cast together with Mrs. Emmajane Yellow-Duke.

The film, “Angela” as produced and directed by Azubuike Erinugha, derives its significance from focus on excellence in script writing while the film mirrors the contemporary predicaments and consequences of dysfunctional societal upbringing.

 “‘Angela’ has brought promises of expediting further exchange of ideas across institutions, especially on the film industry developments.

Meanwhile, the Executive producer of “Angela” and Executive Director of Institute of Strategic and Development Communication, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Professor Emmanuel S. Dandaura, expressed gratitude over the display of creative ability and talents to depict life reality.

The statement said the extensive collaborative effort involved Towncrier Production Studios Nigeria Limited and Nollywood Europe, Belgium in provision of equipment and post-production facilities while a not-for-profit organization, Framework Advocacy and Development (FAD) Initiative, provided production planning and administration.
