Okay, seriously, get ready for some awesome news! We just heard a major buzz straight from the film world. Huge news. Really huge.
Olive Nwosu, a brilliant Nigerian-born writer-director, has just had her debut feature, ‘Lady,’ picked up for U.S. distribution by Cohen Media Group. Yes, you read that right! Cohen.
This film is a winner, too. It totally rocked at Sundance, snagging the Special Jury Award for its amazing ensemble cast. We imagine the screen just bursts with chemistry and powerful performances.
