  • ‘Christmas is Coming’ for Sola Sobowale, Chioma Akpotha, others

    IN time for the yuletide, Nollywood actress, producer and director, Ufuoma McDermott is set to hit the cinemas with her latest movie titled ‘Christmas is coming’.

    The movie follows the story of a slobby tomboy (Ufuoma McDermott) who has a string of ill-luck after being transformed to a “Lady” by her mischievous flat mates (Mary Lazarus, Izzie Otaigbe) just a few days to Christmas.

    She unintentionally falls in love quickly and has to deal with its immediate consequences.

    Written, Produced and Directed by Ufuoma McDermott, the romantic comedy stars other popular actors like Sola Sobowale, Chioma Akpotha, Zack Orji, Deyemi Okanlanwon, Mary Lazarus, Gregory Ojefua, Michael Okon, Izzie Otaigbe, Odenike Odetola and more.

    According to the actress, ‘Christmas is Coming’ is not the regular movie.

    “I know this might sound like a cliché but truth is, this is something you have never seen before. Working with great actors like the ones in this movie, I have been made to realize that with the right people and right ideas, magic can be made in the most unexpected way. ‘Christmas is Coming’ is most certainly magical and I can’t wait to share it with the world. Prepare to be wowed, literally,” she said.

    When asked about her challenges, Ufuoma stated that nothing comes easy therefore challenges are bound to happen.

    “There is nothing that doesn’t come with a challenge but that is not important. What is important is making those challenges work for you. Challenging yes, impossible to control? Certainly not,” she added.

    ‘Christmas is Coming’, she said, will hit cinemas nationwide on November 24th.
