Cinema audience, music and
movie lovers had a taste of what could be described as buy one, get one free as
Tuface Idibia, Omawunmi, Beverly Naya and Denrele Edun made strong debut on the big
screen with inspirational movie, 'Make a Move.'
'Make a Move'
which had dance as one of its themes is the debut production of AMBO
winner, Ivie Okujaye. 'Make a Move' is the story of two sisters, who had to fight
poverty, death of a father and cruelty of a step-father, with the only
available tool to them which was dance. Continue...
The movie which
is presently showing in cinemas across Nigeria, has been described as a breath of fresh
air in Nollywood. Aside Tina Mba, Wale Adebayo(Sango) and Majid Michel, almost
every other member of the cast are fresh faces in Nollywood, which is a deviation
from the norm in present day Nollywood.
The movie
had first week appearance in the cinemas last week and had received rave
positive reviews, aside from Ivie and Adebayo giving what stakeholders call
performances of their lives, Beverly Naya treats the audience to scintillating
sultry dance-steps that further lends credence to the fact that she is one of
the next big thing in the entertainment industry.
Speaking on
'Make a Move', Ivie said, “It is not a dance movie but about two sisters that found
dance”, she also said “the topic of women, children and abuse inspired the
movie. I want people to realize that 'Make a Move does not focus on the abuse
but on how to escape from the abuse through art, in our case we chose dance as
the art. That is what is most important to me because I am fond of dancing,
singing, acting, writing and I'm passionate
about women and children, taking all that and compounding it into one that is
really the foundation and genesis of Make a Move.”
Below is the video of what
Tuface, Majid Michel and other members of cast said about Ivie Okujaye and the
movie.
