Taiwo Egunjobi has officially unveiled his next project, The Fire and The Moth, which has recently completed principal photography in Oyo state. The film marks the second co-production between Nemsia Studios and Sable Productions after their first collaboration on A Green Fever.
The Fire and The Moth, hinting at another take on characters under immense pressure, has been teased as a gritty crime drama set in a harsh western Nigerian town, where a desperate smuggler’s escape with a rare Ife bronze head sparks a violent upheaval, dragging the town into a maelstrom of corruption and brutality.
