STEPHANIE OKEREKE SCREENS HER MOVIE “THROUGH THE GLASS” AT THE 2010 CANNES FESTIVAL, FRANCE
Canadian-based ID Communications Inc. partners with Next Page Productions to screen Through the glass at the Cannes Festival in France
LAGOS, NIGERIA — Nollywood A-list Actress Stephanie Okereke was at the Cannes festival May 12-May 23 for the screening of her movie “Through the Glass”. This screening was made possible by the partnership between Stephanie’s own production company Next Page Productions and ID communications Canada.
“What I most like about this film’s business approach is the built-in market. Nigeria is a country of 150 Million. Every major market has a strong Nigerian Diaspora. Given Stephanie is basically the Angelina Jolie of Nigeria, she is a household name in these communities and we know we can easily mobilize them for our platform theatrical release in North America and elsewhere. As a company specialized in Niche film, these are exactly the kinds of elements we look for. We will begin in NYC, the DC area, and Houston, just to name a few, and we will take it from there.” – Mr. Shannon, ID Communications, films international sales agent.
The Movie was screened to a very diverse audience on Monday, May 17th, giving a very international promotion to the ever growing Nollywood industry and one of its goals to reach a western audience.
“I cannot begin to describe my excitement and appreciation for this industry. It’s not about approval; it’s about opening up the world to a different type of film making experience, the hybrid of Nollywood and Hollywood.” – Stephanie Okereke
