At a sold out movie screening in the heart of Atlanta’s premier arts arena, the High Museum, a wildly appreciative crowd clapped and laughed and gasped at the scenes of the “Figurine”, the new acclaimed African movie produced and directed by Kunle Afolayan. Featuring Ramsey Nouah and a talented cast of African actors and actresses, the film weaves an unpredictable plot of friendship and love, superstition and culture and presents the question of whether or not man makes his own luck.
The director, Kunle, who graced the occasion talked at length about the movie, its production, his travails in creating a unique and different “movie product” and brand and efforts to elevate the African movie industry to new creative heights. He also answered questions from an enthusiastic audience who saw an African movie they were proud of. Kunle through his dogged and relentless efforts at raising the quality bar of African movies and his innovative approaches to monetizing his content, has demonstrated qualities that well meaning Africans can support and emulate and we are proud to be associated with him.
