Top Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun aka AY, is currently in the US producing a film entitled 30 Days in Atlanta – the adventures of Akpos. The film, which is said to be a Romantic Comedy stars Hollywood stars like Lynn Whitfield, Vivica Fox, and Karlie Redd. Of course, he wouldn’t shoot a film without Nollywood and Ghollywood heavyweights represented (the film is about Akpos, remember), so the likes of Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD), Desmond Elliot, Ramesy Nouah, Rachael Oniga, Omoni Oboli, Ada Ameh (an Akpos film will be deficient without her), Juliet Ibrahim, Majid Michel are all on ground for the “work”, not forgetting that AY himself is an “actor” and will be featuring in the film.
30 Days in Atlanta is planned to be shot in Locations in Atlanta, USA, and Lagos Nigeria.
“This one is the first Movie I would produce. It’s like having your first child. It brings so much joy. Interestingly, the story also is mine. I’ve watched the movie countless times in my imagination, and I’m so fulfilled seeing the physical equivalent of my dreams unfold in my lifetime here in Atlanta. “It’s been a family affair on set. I have a great cast and crew here. We love and respect one another. Everybody knows what to do and when to do it. Honestly, I’m enjoying every bit of the shoot. “We hope to wrap shooting up by the end of the October, and God willing by November 3rd, we shall begin the Nigeria-Phase of the Shoot.”
