Ex Ex-PMAN president, movie
maker and arts impresario, Femi Lasode, is back with a bang! As you read this
story, he’s on location in Lekki, Lagos, shooting his next movie entitled Stolen Treasures.
“This is a project that’s
very close to my heart. I’ve been dreaming of this project forever. Stolen Treasures is all about creating
awareness about Nigeria’s stolen artifacts abroad. We need to highlight the
issue of the need to recover our artifacts. I am not the first to do it though;
Chief Eddie Ugboma did it in his movie, The Mask. We want people to be aware
that this is a very important issue. All our artifacts are in Paris and other
museums around the world; what we are doing is creating awareness about our
African heritage and the need to retrieve these artifacts,” an excited Lasode
told tonyogagablog.
Written by Lasode, Stolen Treasures is an adventure story
about a Briton who stumbles on the map of a treasure trove buried somewhere in
Nigeria. Charmed by the lucre that lay waiting for him if he could locate the
treasure, he embarks on a journey to Africa that takes him to Nigeria and then
a tale of romance, betrayal and breath taking adventure begins to unfold as the
characters are engaged in a race against time to lay their hands on the
treasure.
The cast includes Angel
Ufuoma, Clarion Chukwura, AMAA award winner, Gbenga Richards, veterans, Chief
Eddie Ugboma and Larry Williams, Wale Adebayo, Afro beat singer, Alariwo, Jide
Kosoko and PhillippeDupriyez.
Meanwhile, Lasode also
opened up on his film village: “We’ve been hearing about film villages all over
but we haven’t seen anything. Primarily the film shoot is to promote my film
village because we believe the film village should be self sufficient. We are
using this as a test run. We are in partnership with Best Resort Hotels and
were building a film village at Majekodunmi Farms. We are building from scratch
and that’s the reason you see so much equipment around. Everything here is
going to be used for the film village.”
