Feature film IJE prepares to meets and exceeds Hollywood’s expectations at all exclusive screening
The time has come for Nollywood films to be taken seriously, for them to be able to compete with international films, and have lasting value. Change has been brewing for since the inception of film-making in Nigeria, and for 14 months an incredible woman has been working on making the film that will undoubtedly make Nigerian films a force to be reckoned with. Her name is Chineze Anyaene, and IJE: The Journey is what we've all been waiting for.
Chineze Anyaene, Nigerias's director and producer is changing the face of Nollywood and she is here to stay. With a production company that can rival any of its kind, Chineze Anyaene is bringing Nollywood what it needs: professionalism, quality, creativity and class. Anyaene is the youngest female director coming out of Nigeria, and also the first woman to film a Nollywood film on 35mm.
Genevieve Nnaji, who was recently profiled by American media mogul Oprah Winfrey as one of the most famous people in the world, and Nigeria’s sweetheart Omotola Ekeinde play lead roles in the movie, a rare occurrence which sets the tone for an incredibly captivating story full of twists and turns.
IJE is creativity, IJE is entertainment, IJE captures the essence of Nollywood and Hollywood.

Wow! I'm just so very happy about this movie!!! Yes! I cannot wait for it to be released. I'll be grabbing my copy fast.
I've had the privilege of watching this film in Los Angeles because I know the director Chineze Anyaene, and I still maintain that this film, Ije, along with Kunle Afolayan's Figurine are the 2 best Nigerian films I have seen in the last 8 years.
Ladies and gentlemen, Nigerian film has already turned that corner and the quality has stepped up, production, storylines and wonderful acting by our best actors and actresses on the same par as the world film industry.
I'm talking to Chineze about premiering Ije in London soon, I'm sure Linda will post the details when it's confirmed.
