From the mind of Producer/Director Michelle Bello
whose last film Small Boy won two African Movie Academy Awards, comes a
tale of love lost and won in the city of Lagos.
Flower Girl is a
romantic comedy that involves the life of Kemi, a shy florist,
who is desperate to tie the knot with her long-time
boyfriend Umar. Contrary to her expectations, Umar suddenly breaks up with her,
leaving her devastated. In a desperate
bid to get him back, Kemi teams up with a most unlikely ally, Tunde Kulani, a famous
playboy Nollywood star.
The movie addresses the issue of young women who are
in a hurry to get married thinking only about their prefect wedding day and not
the long-term commitment required by both individuals to make it last.
The next generation of amazing Nigerian stars meticulously
assembled by Michelle includes Damilola Adegbite, (formerly in Tinsel),
Chris Attoh (Tinsel), Eku Edewor (Studio 53), Bikiya Graham
Douglas and Chuks Chukwujekwu, starring for the first time as a male lead. Also starring in the film are famous actors Patrick
Doyle, Teni Aofiyebi and Tosan Edremoda-Ugbeye. This dynamic ensemble brings a
whole new take on love in Nigeria and audiences are sure to have a highly
entertaining experience watching Flower Girl when it is released in
2013.
With an all-star crew including Co-Producer Michelle
Dede (Big Brother Nigeria),
Art Director Bola Bello (AMAA award winner for Art
Direction: Small Boy), award-winning Screenwriter Jigi Bello (Shooter,
The Waiting Room) and Director of Photography James Costello (Inale,
Last Flight to Abuja and Black November), this production is
highly anticipated by filmmakers all across Africa.
Shot entirely on location, Flower Girl is
Michelle’s love letter to Lagos and will feature locations familiar to many as
well as some exciting parts of the city never seen before in a film. From churches to business hubs and from electrifying
night life to beautiful lagoon views, Flower Girl captures modern-day
Lagos in stunning high resolution that will be enjoyed by audiences everywhere.
