Burna Boy, the renowned Nigerian singer, is venturing into the film industry with his debut movie, “3 Cold Dishes,” which addresses the issue of sex trafficking.
He is producing the film through his company, Spaceship Films, which he co-founded in 2015 with his mother, Bose Ogulu. Burna Boy will also serve as an executive producer.
Directed by Asurf Oluseyi, an award-winning director known for his 2016 AMVCA-winning short film “A Day with Death,” “3 Cold Dishes” is a collaborative effort with Ifind, Alma Productions, Asurf Films, Martian Network, and Black Mic Mac, a production company focusing on African and Middle Eastern talent.
The film follows the stories of Esosa, Fatouma, and Giselle, former victims of sex trafficking who have risen to prominence in the underground world of prostitution.
Despite their success, they are haunted by their pasts and face threats from their exploiters.
Director Asurf Oluseyi has described the film as a testament to the resilience of its characters, promising a unique African cinematic experience.
The cast includes top Nollywood actors such as Osas Ighodaro, Wale Ojo, Femi Jacobs, Ruby Akubueze, Brutus Richards, and Greg Ojefua, alongside talented Ivorian and Senegalese actors.
“3 Cold Dishes” is one of several exciting projects on Black Mic Mac’s slate, showcasing the rich talent of African storytellers. Their lineup includes titles like “The Devil Inside,” “The Three Rascals,” “Apophenia,” “La Sape,” “The Great Transporter,” “The Cage,” and “Let The Earth Burn.”
Pape Boye, founder of Black Mic Mac, expresses pride in collaborating with filmmakers across the continent and discovering new talent, solidifying their position as a major player in the African film and television industry.
