The producer assured that viewers are in for a most educative, interesting and entertaining experience in the following weeks with the skilful interpretation of their various roles by the accomplished cast members it parades.
Morgan, an Accounting graduate, who herself played Olalonpe, Laditi’s sister, in the movie, commended the cast and crew for braving the odds and challenges faced during shooting in May, this year.
According to her, incessant rainstorms in particular almost frustrated them, threatening to exhaust budget and disrupt production schedules. She noted that, although many of the prominent actors and actresses, whom she described as her ‘bosses’, had other commitments, they patiently stayed on set and encouraged her to ensure its success.
‘We were on location during the raining season. At times the rain would delay us till afternoon. But I appreciate everyone because no one complained. Instead they encouraged me’, Morgan said.
She revealed that the post production in Idi-Oro, a village in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State, was done by the reputed firm owned by Bankole Quadri, to give the audiovisuals a perfect quality and was concluded by July ending.
The filmmaker enthused: ‘This is a movie, cinema lovers can’t afford to miss, I promise! I feel great and give all glory to God Almighty for enabling us to achieve the feat’!
She acknowledged Odika’s advice, support and experience in the industry which, she said, tremendously helped the project.
She also awarded Tunde Adebayo (Hot shot) and Adeniyi Yusuf (Adebuk) credits for their technical assistance and advice she ranks ‘excellent’.
Although this is her work, Morgan said that Orisun is only a teaser, a tip of the iceberg in a line up of spectacular reels she hopes to release.
‘By the Grace of God, more films are coming after this production’, said Morgan, who joined the film industry in 2012 after an unfulfilling stint working in an audit firm in Lagos.
A gifted script writer and actress, she has featured in a number of films while being entored by Tunde Adebayo who discovered her acting talent.
Her career has seen her being in and out of the industry due to initial challenges. But she disclosed that ‘my bosses, especially Aunty Rose Odika and Mr. Adebayo, who knew my potential kept encouraging me to focus’.
Morgan is happy that she heeded the advice which has got her to this stage. ‘Now I believe that whatever you do, you have to be stable and consistent. Now that I am back, I’m never going to look back’.
