“God Calling” is a film that seeks to encourage people to recognise and pursue their purpose. It imaginatively shines a spotlight on modern day spirituality, as it chronicles the life of Sade who suffers a personal tragedy and is taken on a journey of selfdiscovery and faith, which transforms the lives all those around her.
Written and directed by BB Sasore, creator of Before 30 and Banana Island Ghost, God Callingwill be released nationwide on December 21, 2018 and features a stellar cast made up of Zainab Balogun, Karibi Fubara, Richard MofeDamijo, Onyeka Onwenu, Nkem Owoh, Tina Mba, Patrick Diabuah, Chidinma Okebalama ( Chee), Eku Edewor, Diana Egwuatu and a host of others.
According to BB Sasore, the filmmaker, the Nigerian film industry has so much potential but lacks the infrastructure and resources to compete globally. “For this project to come into fruition, I had to collaborate with like minds who believe the Nigerian film industry has great potential and needs to be increasingly supported as one of the country’s largest nonoil exports.”
God Callingwill be released across all cinemas nationwide on Friday December 21, 2018.
