Uyoyou wraps production on My Name Is Misan

Producers have wrapped up shooting for the upcoming biopic, My Name Is Misan in Lagos. Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Uyoyou Adia, the film was Produced by Judith Audu Production and co-ordinated by Chino Obasi, a brand strategist.

The movie stars some of Nollywood’s finest veterans including Uche Mac-Auley, Bimbo Manuel, Joke Silva, Paul Adams, Sam Uche Anyamele, Yinka Akanbi, Efe Orhorha, as casts featuring in the movie. The screenplay was by Ifeoma Emo-Onerhime, while Misan Udogie is the Executive Producer.

The movie follows the story of what led to a catastrophe in a once beautiful family setting of Martin and Misan Udogie and the collapse of a highly sought after Nigerian publication, BottomLINE Newsletters.

Executive Producer of the flick, Misan Udogie noted that it captures her life’s experience, including her period of adversity.

“Orighomisan means my head is good and I think that was the name that spoke for me through adversity. The adverse times put a lot of strain on me but it also gave me experiences that enabled me to overcome even though in my own way, I was able to through the adverse time. That’s why I’m sharing my story in the form of a movie.

“The strength and intensity of my story made me decide to put it into a movie. It was actually a pet project. I wanted to do a 30-minute video, but upon contracting a brand strategist and a movie producer, my story became bigger than me. The story is now being adapted into the big screen,” she said.

Producer of the movie, Judith Audu also noted that the storyline is too compelling to let it pass.

“We hope with this movie, we can bring to bear the dangers lurking behind the existential threat posed by societal and religious limitations in dealing with events which lead up to dysfunctional family relationships borne out of unmapped psychological disorders,” she said.
