For a producer to become teary while her movie screened at the cinema, can only mean two things, it’s either she has had a bad or a good outing. But for fast-rising producer, Foluke Daramola-Salako, it was her day of honour. From the red carpets, accolades poured in for the cross over actress cum producer as she premiered her much talked about flick, Cobweb in Lagos, amidst enthusiastic reception by the audience.
The screening sponsored by Procter and Gamble, had Matini, classic cocktail brand on ground to treat the guests to some refreshing drinks while small chops was in surplus supply.
At the scheduled time of 7pm, the movie started to screen. Cobweb opened with gripping teasers that got most of the audience looking forward to have a great time. And in less than 15minutes into the screening, the audience had course to heave a sign of relieve. From the quality of the picture, to the sound to the fantastic camera angles, Cobweb scored high among the cinema audience. Not to talk of the talented casts who gave an award winning performance that turned heads. Throughout the duration of one-hour-40-minutes that the movie screened, the audience only had positives things to say.
The movie which was directed by Toka McBaror, parades veterans actors as well as talented acts the likes of Dele Odule, Funsho Adeolu, Ayo Adesanya, Foluke Daramola-Salako, Uti Nwachukwu, Tamara Eteimo, Mary Lazarus among others, while it introduces two new acts, Kayode Salako, Foluke’s husband and Olamide Davis.
It will be recalled that Daramola-Salako, before ever she went to the cinema, had assured her critics and fans that they would have no choice than to give her kudos. That was exactly what played out last Saturday.
Speaking on her latest feat, the top Nollywood actress said, “I can’t thank God enough for this day. I am overwhelmed I must be honest with you. I can’t stop these tears from rolling. I didn’t expect this even though I knew I would get positive reveals. This is my first English movie and I am encouraged to do more”. It will be recalled that before Foluke went to the cinema with her movie, she opined that that her critics and fans would have no choice than to give her kudos. For its amazing dialogue, good comedy and superb story line, pundits have already tipped Cobweb, as another award winning movie from Daramola-Salako.
Cobweb tells the story of a young boy, Sam Amakiga (Olamide Davis) whose father Akiga desperately wants him to become a scientist because he didn’t have the opportunity of going to school. Though he has two daughters, all his attention was on Sam his only male child. By so doing, he neglected his daughters. Eventually, Sam becomes the star he had wished for, but to the detriment of his sisters who suffered abuses.
