An educational entertainment has been packaged for Nigerian
television and movie enthusiasts as a
new soap named 'Tangled' makes a debut, reports ITRealms.
Tangled, ITRealms gathered is the first of TV productions of
the Malete Film Village located in Kwara State, which has been conceived to
bring about a social change.
‘’Tangled’ written by
Dele Gbadebo is directed by one of
Nigeria’s indigenous actors and directors,
Muyiwa Ademola, ably assisted by
his contemporary, Tope Adebayo and, yet another Nollywood cineaste, screen
expert and academic, Emeka Dibia, Emelobe.
A press statement from the Malete stables, 'Tangled’ is a story of tact, fate and the consequences
of human actions in the face of selfish desires. It illustrates the conflicts
that ensue between two determined figures: one who intends to obtain political
power at all cost in order to perpetrate acts of decadence, and the other who
altruistically wishes to serve and entrench the ultimate standards of
humanitarian ideals, beliefs and foster national development.
The production, it was gathered, is evolving at a crucial time when Nigeria is
going through all sorts of transitions: politically and economically.
With this imaginative depiction of reality not only is
‘’Tangled’’ destined, to instigate Nigerians and our political leaders to
reflect on their attitudes towards engendering what is best for Nigeria but
also, as one of the big shots behind this production Adebayo Salami (who is the
main producer, and veteran film actor of long standing) puts it ‘’bound to give
credibility to the development and reputation of Nollywood’’.
Before the commencement of this project and at the period of
its conception, the expertise of ace filmmaker, Mr. Tunde Kelani who also
serves as technical supervisor had come to bare, alongside with the
administrative prowess of the Director of the Malete Film Village Mrs. Joke Silva and also Mr. Adebayo Salami,
who is the producer. This team, in a
statement signed by Tunde Onikoyi of the Film and Film Unit, Kwara State
University has inspired a rare
determination towards ‘’Tangled.’’
It is also
significant to mention that the production has been made possible with the
massive support of Kwara State University and its ‘Film and Film Unit’,
providing all the filming equipment to execute the project.
The objective
here, according to the Vice Chancellor
Prof. Rasheed Na’Allah ‘’ is to bridge the gap between the town and gown, the
professionals and academics’’, and this idea has played out successfully.
Not only was the story conceived by Lecturers of the School
of Visual and Performing Arts such Dr. Yemi Atanda, Mr. Emeka Emelobe, Mr.
Tunde Onikoyi and Mrs. Abiola Fashoranti, but students who desire a career in
film from the school are currently taking part in the production either as
supporting actors or crew members.
The series will feature familiar faces of Nollywood such as:
Adebayo Salami, Joke Silver, Antar Laniyan, Yemi Solande, Femi Adebayo, Kate
Adepegba, Deji Adenuga, Ayo Adesanya, Fathia Balogun, Bukola Ogunnote and many
others whose potentials of stellar performances surpass our mere anticipation
and expectations.
