Rita Dominic, actress and co-producer of
the new movie entitled, The Meeting, and other cast members comprising,
Nse Ikpe-Etim, Femi Jacobs and Linda Ejiofor have embarked on a
promotional tour of select Nigerian cities to celebrate the romantic
comedy with the larger public, as well as heighten the excitement
generated by its recent theatrical release.
The team is also leveraging on the
pervasiveness of the social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter
and Youtube to increase awareness and drum up support for the movie.
The promotional campaign is coming on
the heels of the premiere of The Meeting which was held on October 19,
2012 at the banquet hall of the Oriental Hotel, Lekki Lagos.
The Meeting is from the stable of The
Audrey Silva Company, one of Nigeria’s foremost film and television
production outfits. According to Rita Dominic, lead actress and
co-producer of the movie, “the tour gives us an opportunity to meet
cinema audiences nationwide and get to know them better. We do no not
want a disconnect between our company and the people we make movies
for.”
Speaking further, Dominic said the team
was in Abuja last week and met with many movie buffs in addition to
visiting radio stations where they fielded questions from on-air
personalities. She disclosed that the campaign train would be visiting
the Garden City of Port Harcourt in the coming week.
The Meeting is a reflective
comedy that showcases a different and dynamic Rita Dominic and Jide
Kosoko in lead roles. The movie features appearances by Kate
Henshaw-Nuttal, Basorge Tariah, Nse Ikpe-Etim and Chinedu Ikedieze and
also introduces upcoming stars like Femi Jacob and Linda Ejiofor.
Set in Abuja, Nigeria the movie
chronicles the trials of a Lagos-based corporate executive, Makinde Esho
(Femi Jacobs) who finds himself at the mercy of political patronage,
bureaucratic red tape and Cupid’s arrow while on a hot pursuit of a
‘meeting’ to secure a contract from a government ministry.
Directed by Mildred Okwo, The Meeting
addresses an array of contemporary issues the audience are sure to
identify with, ranging from love through African time, to tackling
officials and maneuvering red tape.
