Martha Ehinome, known for her role as Tumi in the Showmax series Wura, has completed production on her first film as an executive producer. The feature, Man of Her Dreams, has now entered post-production, with first-look images from the film already released.
Co-written by Martha Ehinome and Gbolahan Akintunde, the film follows Naya, a woman in her late 20s who longs for a lasting relationship. She meets Kene, who appears to be her dream partner, but as their relationship deepens, she learns things about him that force her to re-evaluate her hopes and what reality looks like in love.

Starring Martha Ehinome, Vine Olugu, Ireti Doyle, Gbubemi Ejeye, and Tosin Adeyemi, Moses Ipadeola (Ekun Iyawo: A Tale of a Runaway Bride) takes on the directorial hat on this project, with cinematography by Fadamana Okwong (The Fire and The Moth) and art direction by Joy Kadiri (Gangs of Lagos).
Man of Her Dreams is produced by Ehinome’s new company ME & Co, with Emmanuel Izuoba (Christmas in Lagos) credited as co-producer.
Speaking about the project, Ehinome said, “I’m glad this is the story that opens this chapter for me. It’s bold, it’s emotional, it’s layered, and it brings in things I love: our culture, our spirituality, the emotional realities we don’t always talk about, and an intimacy that feels honestly African and very relatable.”
Man of Her Dreams is now in post-production, and release details will be shared at a later date.
