MORE ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Nollywood Producers USA Award/Appreciation Night was organized by
Ghawood Angel productions and to show appreciation for the producers who
have been pioneering the way for African movies in the USA. Often the
focus and accolade are heaped on the stars of the movies while the
producers many of whom have to go through a lot to produce these films
are rarely recognized or acknowledged. Some of the producers that
were appreciated at the award event include the team of Oliver O.
Mbamara, Bethels Agomuoh, and Felix Nnorom who produced one of the first
Nollywood (African) feature films in the USA titled THIS AMERICA. They
have continued to produce other feature films since then but THIS
AMERICA continues to be hailed as the movie that lay the foundation and
encouraged the rise and making of African films in the United States and
even beyond. Following are the names of other producers who received
awards at the event. Moses Adedeji, Chisom Ozi-Lee, Roy Madu, Tony
Abulu, Boyce Ugbo, Kwame Boadu, Akim Macauley, John Uche, Michael
Nweseyi, Mohammed Conteh, Augustine Chima, Emmanuel Ijeh, Koby Maxwell,
Gifty Adu-Darko, George Okere, Joy Orie, and Nana Ampem who helped put
the event together. Amongst the announcers for the night were Taka Tanni
and a couple of comedians who doubled as MCs. There were also dance
entertainment among other fanfares of the evening.
