‘A Green Fever’ Director Taiwo Egunjobi Sets Next Project, ‘The Fire and The Moth’, a Crime Drama Now in Post Production

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.

Director Egunjobi is bringing to life a script penned by frequent collaborator Isaac Ayodeji in what the director has dubbed their “most ambitious film yet”, with Fadamana Okwong credited as director of photography.
