“I feel honoured having these talents as part of the production. I also believe they haven’t been explored the way they should be and that is one of the reasons we are making the film. I believe From Freetown will stand out,” Wuriee stated.
From Freetown, as told by the director, is a story filled with passion and dreams towards achieving set up goals as well as changing human perception towards life situation.
The movie parades a stellar cast that includes star actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie, Daniel Lloyd, Ghanaian actor, James Gardner, Peggy Ovire, Belinda Effah, Seun Akindele, Ebelle Okaro, Tunde Owokoniran, and Ifeanyi Kalu, amongst others.
“Usually, I do not like to blow my trumpet. On the contrary, I’m a very flexible actor and I’m a tool of any director. I’m very eager and excited to see what the director will bring out of me. I’m not metal, I’m not wood so whatever he wants, I hope I can bring it out,” said Belinda Effah.
Being in his first time producing in Nigeria, Wuriee disclosed that he admires and loves Nollywood achievement, and progress are hopes that this project will be the beginning of a fruitful working relationship with Nollywood talents and other Producers.
