Turning Point Releases Fourth Behind-the-Scenes Webisode –
“Family Breakfast”
For Immediate Release
London, 28 March 2013.
As we get ready to enjoy a long weekend and family breakfasts, HekCentrik Films brings the fourth webisode from the set of critically acclaimed Hollywood/Nollywood co-production Turning Point, “Family Breakfast”.
Due for Nigerian release in May and up for two AMAA Awards next month in Best Film by an African Abroad and Best Supporting Actress (Patience Ozokwor), Turning Point by London-based Nigerian filmmaker Niyi Towolawi is one of the most highly anticipated films of the year.
Webisode 4 titled “Family Breakfast” documents the making of is one of the key scenes in the film playing out some of the pivotal conflicts of the plot, inter-cultural prejudice and dynamics between people of colour from different ethnicities.
We also get to hear what Cynda Williams (Dede), KD Aubert (Stacy), Igoni Archibong (Ade), Gerald Yelverton (Jason) have got to say on these issues as well as the filming of this scene.
In the run up to the Nigeria premiere, and following the success of the world premiere attended by leading cast from Hollywood and Nollywood at London IndigO2, the 10-part behind-the-scenes webisodes aim to document the cast and crew’s relentless work across two continents – America and Africa – to bring to life this exciting Hollywood/Nollywood co-production.
A compelling story of ethnic prejudice, blurred moral lines, revenge and redemption, Turning Point follows the rise and fall of Ade (Igoni Archibong), Nigerian-American New York City investment banker who is in a relationship with keen-to-marry African-American Stacey (KD Aubert) but is forced into an arranged marriage to seemingly submissive Grace (Jackie Appiah) by his controlling mother (Patience Ozokwor).
With a star studded cast bringing together Hollywood heavyweights Ernie Hudson best known for his roles as Winston Zeddemore in the Ghostbusters film series, Sergeant Albrecht in The Crow and Warden Leo Glynn in Oz, Todd Bridges of Diff’rent Strokes fame, Victoria’s Secret model and actress from Scorpion King, Friday After Next and Soul Plane, KD Aubert, and Joe Estevez with Nollywood’s noted actress Patience Ozokwor (Mama Gee) also known as Mother Africa, Ghana’s celebrated actress Jackie Appiah, Nigerian actress of Blackberry Babes fame Oge Okoye, Turning Point turns into reality what was once a dream of a partnership between the world’s two largest film industries, Hollywood and Nollywood.
