African Movies Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) recipient Trino Studios is set to make a debut with its first feature film Sylvia, a tale of love, lust, betrayal and obsession. The producers of the short films Las Gidi Vice and The Encounter are offering an enthralling thriller drama, which will be screened for the first time at Nollywood Week Paris, organised by Okada Media.
With Babatunwa Aderinokun and Uche Okocha as Executive Producers, Ekene Mekwunye as producer, directed by Daniel Oriahi and written by Vanessa Kanu, Sylvia is buoyed by performances from Nollywood’s star acts like Zainab Balogun, Ini Dima Okojie, Udoka Oyeka and Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh.
A truly compelling story, the producers centre on the cause and effect of relationships, mental health and the real versus the surreal world. Chris Attoh stars as Richard the protagonist. Richard has always existed between the real world and fantasy world and is a home to his friend and lover Sylvia (Zainab Balogun). Filled with passion and love, the two devotees embark on a journey of commitment.
