COVID-19: Nigerian filmmaker premieres film directed via Zoom
As coronavirus shuts down film, TV productions, and cinemas around the world, a Nigerian filmmaker, Obi Emelonye, has found a way around the physical distancing restrictions to shoot his latest movie.
Emelonye revealed that his latest project, a two-man cast movie, ‘Heart 2 Heart’, was shot with mobile phones and remotely directed using the popular video conferencing application, Zoom.“Shot on mobile phones and directed remotely with Zoom, this unique project eavesdrops on a long-distance video call between two young lovers; whose wedding was affected by the Coronavirus,” an excited Emelonye tweeted.
The seven-minute long video stars Jide-Kene Achufusi of Living in Bondage sequel fame and Ada Godsfavour-Inyang as the onscreen couple. To minimise social mixing, the crew comprised of the phone operators, Enobong Iyang and Obioma Achufusi .Emelonye is well known for directing award-winning films such as ‘Last Flight to Abuja’, ‘The Mirror Boy’, and ‘Onye Ozi’.
