‘’I have a personal bias for the story of ‘Danfo and The Rose’, it truly is one of the most exciting scripts I’ve read in my career.
“Moreso, I’m looking forward to working yet again with Laju Iren Films to creatively execute such a brilliant vision.”
‘Danfo and the Rose’ is a young adult love story about a young woman’s effort to follow her dreams against the backdrop of a fresh canvas of street life in Lagos while covering a wide range of social impact themes as child welfare, children’s education, drug abuse, and the family unit.
Though an independent project, ‘Danfo and the Rose’ is backed by several household name brands.
