Saturday, 5 April 2014 by Unknown


Starring Helen Adenike Osabutey (Producer); Theodora Ibekwe-Oyebade (multi-award winning actress and producer of Shameful Deceit) and Toyin Moore.

In brief, 18 Carat Mama is a story which aims to sensitize the public about the need to have smear tests with a view to preventing and early detection of cervical cancer. It is written mainly around the three main female cast who live their lives without a care in the world, until one day tragedy strikes.

It is both a comedy and drama.
While it is aimed primarily at the African woman, who treats issues of  health with levity more so the dislike of the intrusion of her privacy, it is a story for the family and the general public.

This story is thought provoking, educating, entertaining and full of laughter. It is about total friendship, loyalty, endurance, trust and reality of everyday life situations.

18 Carat Mama was written by Helen Adenike Osabutey aka Helen Gold, for Helen Gold Productions; cinematography by the talented Nelson Spyk (3 London Girls, London Na Wa) and, directed by Titi Jacobs-Aseroma aka Lady TJ.

BAFTA Winner Chiwetel Ejiofor Stars with Thandie Newton in HALF OF A YELLOW SUN

Wednesday, 26 March 2014 by Unknown





Soda Pictures in association with Kush Promotions, Colourful Radio & Vox Africa
& supported by Theodora 'Nollywood' Ibekwe-Oyebade

Presents the UK Release of
'Half Of A Yellow Sun'
on 11 April 2014.

 UK Premiere 8th April with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Director Biyi Bandele & author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and additional stars in attendance.


 Olanna (Thandie Newton) and Kainene (Anika Noni Rose) are glamorous twins from a wealthy Nigerian family. Returning to a privileged city life in newly independent 1960s Nigeria after their expensive English education, the two women make very different choices. Olanna shocks her family by going to live with her lover, the “revolutionary professor” Odenigbo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and his devoted houseboy Ugwu (John Boyega) in the dusty university town of Nsukka; Kainene turns out to be a fiercely successful businesswoman when she takes over the family interests, and surprises herself when she falls in love with Richard (Joseph Mawle), an English writer. 






Preoccupied by their romantic entanglements, and a betrayal between the sisters, the events of their life loom larger than politics. However, they become caught up in the events of the Nigerian civil war, in which the lgbo people fought an impassioned struggle to establish Biafra as an independent republic, ending in chilling violence which shocked the entire country and the world.


Based on the award-winning best seller by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, HALF OF A YELLOW SUN is the feature film debut from London based Nigerian playwright, novelist and screenwriter Biyi Bandele. Starring Oscar-nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years A Slave), BAFTA-winner Thandie Newton (Crash), BAFTA-nominee Joseph Mawle (Birdsong), Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls) and John Boyega (Attack the Block).



HALF OF A YELLOW SUN is an epic love-story weaving together the lives of four people swept up in the turbulence of war, produced by Andrea Calderwood of Slate Films (The Last King of Scotland).
