PinPoint has confirmed Chris Ihidero’s debut feature film, ‘Aloma’. Chris Ihidero serves as the writer and director of the film.
The film has officially wrapped filming and is currently in post-production.
The film, which is described as a “love story in a time of war – a war between those who have and those who don’t”, is fully financed by a consortium of investors led by MBO Capital and is scheduled for a major international premiere by 2026.
“Shooting has wrapped, post-production is ongoing, and everything is now set to bring fans up to speed on what has been going on behind the scenes. We believe Aloma is a film that transcends regional boundaries, telling a deeply human story with universal themes of love, struggle, and resilience in the modern African context,” said Wole Ajetomobi, Head of Productions, PinPoint Media.
“Chris Ihidero’s vision, the dedication of the cast and crew, and the strategic financial backing from MBO Capital has allowed us to create a work of exceptional quality that we anticipate will set a new benchmark for cinematic ambition on the continent,” Ajetomobi added.
Aloma is one of many more stories by Ihidero, which tell authentic and impactful African stories. The film draws inspiration from Chris Ihidero’s early life in the ghetto and trenches of Lagos.
