Award-winning film maker, Kunle Afolayan, has declared that his
upcoming film, “The CEO”, will definitely lead a revolution in African
cinema when it finally hits the box office.
Afolayan and his cast and crew are currently on location at the
popular Inagbe Grand Restorts & Leisure, Lagos, shooting this
bar-raising movie.
The celebrated film maker expressed this optimism last weekend while welcoming the
Chief Executive Officer, Bank of Industry (BoI), Mr. Olaoluwa
Rasheed, who stormed the popular Restorts to show solidarity as well as
to boost the morale of the production team. The bank is one of the major
financiers of the project.
Sharing their experience on location, Afolayan hinted that the team
will be moving to Coat de Voire, Kenya, and South Africa to shoot some
scenes soon.
According to him, “ It is no longer about Nigeria. The CEO is about
taking Africa to the world.” He thanked the management of the bank for
believing in his creativity.
Impressed by what he saw on location, BoI boss said, the bank is
proud to be associated with Afolayan whom he described as a pace-setter
in the movie industry in Africa. “The same way we visit our customers.
We thought we should come and see the production crew, and the cast.
Based on what we have just seen, we are convinced that The CEO is going
to be a hugely successful movie.
