Oriahi’s filmmaking journey started with his first movie, titled Misfit. It wasn’t a big-budget production. Instead, it was a psychological horror film he made with very limited resources.

Sharing his passion for filmmaking, Oriahi discussed his experiences on Instagram while creating Misfit.

He wrote,

“My first film, Misfit, was a deeply personal psychological horror created on a limited budget. In 2014, I showcased it in Lagos, hoping for a breakthrough, which led me to meet @uchelouisokocha and @baba_t23 from Trino Studios. Following our success with “Sylvia” in 2018, I desired to explore various horror subgenres, drawing inspiration from classics like Rosemary’s Baby, The Shining, and Hereditary.”

In 2022, Uche Okocha, the executive director of Trino Studios, introduced Daniel Oriahi to “The Weekend.” Upon reviewing the project, Oriahi found that it perfectly matched his artistic vision and goals. This alignment of creative vision prompted him to become involved with the film, ultimately leading to his role as its director.

“In 2022, Uche presented me with a script titled ‘The Weekend,’ aligning perfectly with my artistic vision. Its inclusion in Tribeca’s Midnight section feels like a full-circle moment,” he said.

He also stated,

“Almost two decades ago, I turned to filmmaking as a means of healing and self-expression, and to this day, it continues to motivate me forward. I extend my gratitude to Trino Studios and all collaborators for their unwavering belief in me.”

“The Weekend” is a suspenseful movie with dramatic moments

It tells the story of a young woman who grew up without parents (an orphan) and longs for a loving family. She’s engaged to be married. When she visited her fiancé’s family for the first time, they seemed perfect at first. But then she uncovers a dark secret they’ve been hiding.

The movie stars Aniunoh, Bucci Franklin, Meg Otanwa, Keppy Ekpeyong Bassey, Gloria Anozie-Young, and Damilola Ogunsi.

Kachi Benson Is Working On Documentary, "The Harvest" | Fab.ng

Nigerian filmmaker Kachi Benson, who directed the Disney movie “Madu,” is working on a new documentary called “The Harvest.” Hunting Lane and Impact Partners will produce the documentary.

The documentary tells the story of four Nigerian mothers. It focuses on their ongoing fight to educate their children, even after the horrific event that took place ten years ago. In 2014, the terrorist group Boko Haram attacked a school in the village of Chibok, Borno State, and kidnapped 276 young girls.

This isn’t Benson’s first time exploring the aftermath of this kidnapping. In 2019, he created a virtual reality documentary titled “Daughters of Chibok.” The documentary won the award for Best Immersive Story at the Venice Film Festival.

Speaking about “The Harvest,” Kachi Benson said,

“I have spent the last five years with the mothers and survivors of the Chibok kidnappings; I’ve listened to their stories, and what I’ve learned is that these women are more than the tragedy that is mostly used to describe them. My aim with The Harvest is to give them a platform to tell their own story and show a side to these heroines that the world hardly sees: a community of mothers who have stood and continue to stand as pillars, working together to make tomorrow better for their children. That is the ultimate bravery.”

The filming of the documentary “The Harvest” has just been completed. The documentary was brought to life by a team of producers. They include Jamie Patricof, Katie McNeill, Rachel Halilej, Samira Mohammed, and Adeyinka Oduniyi.

“We were honoured to be able to work with ‘Kachi on this powerful film,” Patricof of Hunting Lane said. “What the women in this film accomplish is nothing short of miraculous. They are real-life superheroes.”
