Mahmood Ali Balogun and Odera Ozoka partner for epic film “Biafra: A Forgotten Place”

Veteran Nollywood director and producer, Mahmood Ali Balogun has joined the team working on the war epic, titled โ€˜Biafra: A Forgotten Place.โ€™

Balogun who would be working on the epic as a production consultant produced the popularย  filmย  โ€œTango With Meโ€ which starred Genevieve Nnaji.

Mr. Balogun said the project would source and promote the countryโ€™s talentsย  on the global scene.

Nigerian filmmaker in the Diaspora and producer of โ€˜Biafra: A Forgotten Place,โ€™ Odera Ozoka said he watched โ€˜Tango with meโ€™ on the plane a few years ago and had long admired Balogunโ€™s work and would be collaborating with him on several other projects.

Ozoka, whose film, โ€˜Soul Diaspora,โ€™ won the African Movie Academy award for Best Film by an African filmmaker in the Diaspora, also worked on the popular film โ€˜Ijeโ€™.

Also the duo recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the project with the National Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC).

Director General, NTDC, Mrs. Sally Mbanefo, commended the Nigerian-American filmmaker, saying he was using cinema not just to tell stories but also as a tourism key to showcase Nigeria.

She said the NTDC was committed to the growth of tourism in the county, and welcomes any initiative that would promote that.
