Pic-Emem Isong
Lovers of quality language movies, especially those from Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers States are in for a good time, as producer Emem Isong, is set to hit shelves with Uyai (Beauty), her latest movie.
With a very rich cast list comprising big names like:
Ini Edo, Desmond Elliot, Moses Armstrong, Fred Essien, Obey Etuk, Ini Ikpe and a host of others, the 75-minute-didactic movie, is already setting agenda for discuss among core filmmakers, especially those in the language genre.
Written by Emem Isong and Felix Odion, Isong, also directed the Ibibio language movie alongside Desmond Elliot.
Shot on location in Eket, Akwa Ibom State with hi-tech equipment, Uyai, is set for release in the next couple of weeks.
Giving an insight into the movie’s synopsis, Isong, who just breezed in from the U.S divulged that Uyai, thematically deals with the many mysteries of our daily lives and the clues to unraveling them “Globally, language movies are taking the front rows in production houses and we don’t want to be left behind in Nollywood. It is also another way of telling our own stories and bringing back our lost cultures and long forgotten traditional heritages, “posited Isong.
