(Disney ) EbonyLife Films has kicked off principal photography of a modern day African adaptation of "Cinderella," which is titled "Dere: An African Tale."
Executive produced by MO Abudu, the upcoming six part mini-series is directed by "O-Town" award winning filmmaker, C.J Fiery Obasi.
This is coming from EbonyLife Films after "Fifty," which emerged the highest grossing Nigerian film of 2015.
The upcoming
mini-series revolves around Dere, named ‘Cinderella’ by her eccentric
paternal grandmother. She is the precocious, beautiful, naive, indulged
and only child of the Kosoko's, who graduated with a first from St.
Andrews University in Scotland, studying Law and International
relations.
She is an avid social media user,
reader and film enthusiast. Once back in Nigeria, her long-term
boyfriend dumps her, increasing her sense of isolation, desperation and
desolation.
