Opa Williams’ latest comic movie, The Three Wise Men, premiered on Sunday, December 4, 2016 to a select audience who attended strictly by invitation.
Directed by Patience Oghre Imobhio and produced by award-winning Opa Williams, the premiere saw celebrities, film-makers, sponsors and the media storm the Air Force Event Centre on Kofo Abayomi, Victoria Island, with great enthusiasm that was soon to justify their time.
It was a hilarious moment all through, as lead character of the film, Richard Mofe-Damijo, brought laughter-induced tears to the eyes of many with his carriage of Irikefe, a 64-year-old man who chooses the path of a playboy, bringing his two friends; Timi (Zack Orji) and Tobore (Victor Olaotan) into the ‘young at heart’ game.
Speaking to journalists on the red carpet, Opa Williams described the movie as a faith-based story that satirizes the actions and intents of the elderly trio in their mid to late 60s as they struggle to relive their lost youth.
Guests in attendance at the premiere include Founder, Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), Ms Chioma Ude; President of Directors Guild of Nigeria (DGN), Fred Amata, Tunde Kelani, Patrick Doyle, Emeka Ossai, President of African Film Consortium (AFC).
Others are Monalisa Chinda, and Mykel Parish; broadcaster, Agatha Amata and comedian, Koffi Da Guru.
There were also officials of Bank of Industry (BoI), United Bank for Africa (UBA), Africa Magic, and Nigerian Breweries Plc, among other sponsors.
