The Kinsman tells the story of Nneoma who decides to return to Nigeria from Cotonou after losing her husband and two sons. Her devoted daughter in-law, and late son’s widow, Nadia, insist on following her back. In appreciation of Nadia’s loyalty, Nneoma’s sole desire and pursuit, is to help Nadia get a good husband, by playing cupid. A quest that takes them on a journey full of humour, drama and intrigue.
The premiere which held at the Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island on Tuesday was graced by A-list Nollywood celebrities, dignitaries from the private sectors and movie buffs. Among the cast that graced the event were Kalu Ikeagwu, Ebele Okaro, Lota Chukwu, Chioma Nwosu, Bridget Chibufue and Omobala Akinde. Others were producer of the movie, Teni Stuffman; her husband, Ayo Stuffman; and the director and co-producer, Doris Ariole, among others.
Written and produced by Teni Stuffman and Doris Ariole, The Kinsman is the first original movie of fast-growing online media streaming platform, Lodios.com.
On the inspiration behind the conceptualization of the comic-romantic story, Teni Stuffman, said that she realised that one of the best ways to pass a message is to mix it with comedy as attention span is very important. “So as people are laughing and you are making the messages very subtle, they will easily internalize it.”
