Hello fellow BellaNaijarians, Nana Kennedy-Kwofie here! I’m coming to you from London and very excited to share my glamorous experience attending the star-studded premiere of Jade Osiberu’s Isoken!
I’ve been a fan of Osiberu’s work since I saw the series ‘Skinny Girl in Transit’ and given how much I enjoyed that series I was sure the movie would be great. I was further convinced when I saw the hilarious trailer for Isoken. I wrote my submission and luckily I won!
On the day of the Isoken premiere and I was EXCITED! You see, this was my FIRST time ever attending a movie premiere. I got premiere ready and wore a beautiful Kente detailed dress.
Feeling good and dressed to impress I arrived at the Empire Cinema at Leicester Square at 7 pm.
Once inside I met the mastermind behind Isoken and several other series, Jade Osiberu! She was so friendly but most of all excited to finally see Isoken on the big screen.
It was a red carpet affair, all the stars on the carpet looked AMAZING!
I was also able to meet and speak to a few stars of the show.
Timini, Abimbola Craig and Marc Rhys looking GOOD!
Leading lady Dakore Egbuson Akande and Marc Rhys who plays one of her love interests.
ME and the stars!
After a few pictures, we went into the cinema hall and it was MOVIE TIME
The movie ended with a (well deserved) round of applause and then the audience had an opportunity to talk to the cast.
Final thoughts: While I don’t want to reveal too much Isoken I will say this, you WILL be missing out if you don’t watch this movie. There were SO MANY great moments, all of us in the audience reacted and cheered at several points during the movie. As a content creator, I really appreciated the beautiful cinematography and all stylistic choices, even down to clothing and colours. Isoken is a visually pleasing portrayal of a situation a lot of African women face: the pressure to get married. It is hilarious, heartfelt and a MUST-SEE movie.
And luckily, now you can also watch Isoken in 15 cinemas across the UK! I really hope you all watch Isoken, I personally recommend it 🙂
I had such a wonderful time at the premiere and must say a HUGE thank you to BellaNaija for the opportunity ❤️
