Kunle Afolayan’s unfinished movie bags international award

December 31, 2013 by Don Saint 1 Comment

The much-publicized film-in-the-making, October 1, a psychological thriller by young filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan, has won the International Movie Trailer’s Festival (IMTF)’s award in the Best Fiction Trailer category.

In a letter sent to Afolayan yesterday, the California, USA-based organisers of the award stated: “We’re pleased to tell you that “October 1” won the 2013 IMTF award for the best fiction trailer. Your award is $250.”

An excited Afolayan, stated that the best is yet to be seen of him, as 2014 holds more surprises for his fans.

Although the movie is in its post-production stage, the filmmaker had cried out for financial help when it appeared that the expected sponsorship for the $2million-budget movie was not forthcoming.

With the involvement of the Lagos State government, Toyota Nigeria Ltd. and Deola Sageo in the historical movie, Afolayan hit location last September with less than 50 percent funds, hoping that more help will come as the cameras roll.
