Dust to Dreams follows the relationship between a mother and her teenage daughter as she meets her father for the first time.
Mo Abudu took to her social media page on Tuesday to share more details on the film which will be starring: British-Nigerian music star, Seal; Nollywood stars, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Eku Edewor, Atlanta Bridget Johnson, and a former Nigerian Idol contestant, Constance Olatunde.
Her post which is based on a report published by the entertainment platform Deadline, also shows that the film is a collaboration between EbonyLife Films and the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), through its Creative Africa Nexus (Canex).
“I’m beyond thrilled to announce a groundbreaking collaboration close to my heart!” she wrote.
