About the Production:
“I’ve had the unique experience of living as both an American in Africa and as an African in America. As a filmmaker, I want to bring an uncompromising authenticity to this film by shooting on location in Kenya while capturing the exotic locales and gritty streets of Nairobi. Like many developing cities, Nairobi has its share of social issues but one of the most interesting things about Kenya is the people. Nairobi is particularly known for it’s electric nightlife and ingenuity of its citizens that we plan to capture in a unique way for this film.” — Olu Odebunmi
Current Status:
