July 25, (THEWILL) – NYewande Zaccheus, the founder of foremost event planning company in Lagos state, Eventful, has launched her movie making career with the release of her debut effort, The Wait. Yewande, whose event planning business seems to have taken a back seat, released the much-anticipated movie some weeks ago and it has been applauded as a brilliant effort. The movie was first screened in her church, The Fountain of Life Church, Ilupeju about two weeks ago and it is already showing in cinemas across the state. The newest movie producer in town is not stopping at producing just one movie as she is ready to embrace more opportunities as they come her way.
The movie was inspired by Yewande’s faith-based book titled, ‘God’s Waiting Room’ and the challenges of combating nine years of secondary infertility before having her second child, Iretidayo. The movie revolves around the lives of different individuals and families as they try to navigate the disappointments and obstacles while waiting for their moment of change.
It parades a cast comprising notable Nollywood actors and actresses, such as Nse Ikpe-Etim, Deyemi Okanlawon and Jimmy Odukoya, as well as some up-and-coming actors in Nollywood. Besides her new found love, Yewande is also the convener of Fiesta of Flavours, an annual food and beverage fair; The Beauty Souk, a niche fair for beauty enthusiasts; The Fashion Souk, a fashion fair showcasing the value chain of the fashion business and The Street Souk, a fair for millennials featuring urban street wears.
