The movie, which will premiere on Gidi Box Office, a Nollywood movie-streaming platform, portrays the current trend of couples hoping to get justification and judgment from the social media courts thereby exposing all their hitherto hidden secrets.It evokes sentiment from the public and a total backlash for the protagonist.
Commenting on the storyline and the social media attraction, Agwu said she wanted something that everybody can relate to. “A story that makes the audience loves the valiant and the other sides.” Speaking further on the script, Agwu said it took her about three weeks to write the story from conceptualisation to scripting of the thought process. “I am a humble writer,” she added.According to her, the production team wanted to promote culture beyond telling a relatable story. “Something indigenous mixed with English. There would be subtitles going forward; we are running away from the Yoruba demons thing. The producers opted for the Yoruba language to be 70 percent,” Agwu stated.
“In all of this, we will stay true to our ethos, which is to produce quality, high production value, great art direction, and authentic stories played by believable characters.“In a first of its kind venture, 13 Letters will be shown on our live cinema. This means that if you’re not in Nigeria, we have you covered. Just go to GidiBoxOffice.com or download our app to get your viewing ticket,” Moronkeji added.
She disclosed further that the streaming platform plans to harness young talent, new faces by working with young directors, producers, actors with the opportunity to showcase their craft.
