Reacting to her debut production Just Not Married making the selection of the 2016 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Nollywood actress, Judith Audu-Foght has said that it is a dream come true.
According to the actress, being selected to be a part of such a prestigious film festival is a validation of the saying that hard work pays.
“When I first got the mail from TIFF saying my movie was selected, I was numb for hours, I couldn’t scream! I was so overwhelmed with joy that our movie made it into one of the most prestigious festivals in the world. I felt proud, there was this unexplainable sense of fulfillment that all the risk we took is paying off and it was worth it
“Sincerely speaking, when I set out to shoot I never knew the film would end up doing so well. It’s doing way more than I can ever imagine and I’m grateful to God and the entire cast and crew that brought this movie to life,” the actress said.
Just Not Married is written by Lani Aisida and has Fayo Segun Festus as Director of Photography. It features Stan Nze, Rotimi Salami, Ijeoma Agu, Obutu Roland, Brutus Richard, Gregory Ojefua, Judith Audu, Perpetua Adefemi, with special appearances by Adeniyi Johnson, Sambasa Nzeribe, Morten Foght, Bucci Franklin, Eric Nwanso, L.A.S.E, and Seun Afolabi, among others.
