The Set Up to premiere August 9

Inkblot Productions has yet again teamed up with Film One Distribution and Production and Anakle films on their latest movie project titled ‘The Set Up’.

Directed by Niyi Akinmolayan, the movie boasts of a stellar cast that includes Adesua Etomi-Wellington, Jim Iyke, Dakore EgbusonAkande, Joke Silva, Kehinde Bankole and Tina Mba.

The film also features Ayo Ayoola, Marie Humbert, Damilare Kuku and Wendy Lawal. Zulu Oyibo, co founder at Inkblot Productions expressed that it is great to work with people who share in your vision. “We have collaborated with Film One on ground breaking projects such as the Wedding Party Series and My Wife and I and last year we did the same with Anakle on the breathtaking Up North.”

“These collaborations have proven to be successful and we were more than happy to do it again especially on a movie like ‘’The Set Up’’. This is a movie that speaks brilliance, hard work and creativity,”

Oyibo says. The Set Up will be Anakle Films and Inkblot Production’s second collaboration (Up North) and the sixth time Film One Distributions will be collaborating with the production company (The Wedding Party 1&2, My Wife and I, New Money and Moms At War).

Written by Chinaza Onuzo (The Arbitration, The Wedding Party 2, New Money and Up North).

The Set Up tells the story of Chike (Adesua Etomi Wellington) a young drug smuggler who gets more than she bargains for and is drawn into a web of deceit when she is hired by a socialite (Jim
Iyke) to assist with his scheme to marry a wealthy heiress (Dakore Egbuson Akande).

“Working with Inkblot productions has always been a delight. They never fall short on quality, the storyline and execution is always impeccable and that goes in line with what Film One is about, so of course we were happy to do this again”, Moses Babatope, managing director, Film one Distribution and Production, said.

‘’After the success of Up North, we are excited to be working with Inkblot Productions again. This is one project I am looking forward to, and I really cannot wait for everyone to see this come August 9, 2019’’, Editi Effiong, CEO, Anakle Films, said.
