The ELFIKE Film Collective, a partnership between EbonyLife
Films, FilmOne Distribution, Inkblot Productions and Koga Studios, is
thrilled with the most recent development for The Wedding Party 2:
Destination Dubai – a nomination by the National Film Awards UK, in the
‘Best International Film’ category. Winners of the award are decided by
the public and fans are encouraged to vote by registering at www.nationalfilmawards.org/ voting. The awards ceremony takes place on 28th March.
This prestigious nomination is another indication of the
international appeal of the film and how well it has been received by
audiences across the globe. Of note are its successful cinema runs in
Nigeria, the UK, East Africa, South Africa and Liberia.
The National Film Awards UK is an annual event organised by
the National Film Academy to laud the accomplishments of established
and independent filmmakers, actors, actresses, casting directors,
production companies and crew who make up the motion picture industry.
Mo Abudu, CEO, EbonyLife Films, is ecstatic about the
nomination and the global recognition. “It is humbling and exciting that
The Wedding Party 2 has not only been embraced by viewers the world
over, but has earned such international acclaim from a prestigious
institute like the National Film Academy. The nomination is further
proof that original content, made in Africa for the world, is viable and
good enough for international commendation,” she said.
Moses Babatope, COO of FilmOne Distribution echoes Abudu’s
sentiments and hopes the film bags the award. “Being nominated by the
National Film Academy in the UK is satisfying enough. However, it would
be mind-blowing and incredibly meaningful to win the award for ‘Best
International Film’. We encourage viewers who enjoyed it to vote online
and help us bring this award home,” he said.
