Award winning producer of “A Wish”, Elvis Chucks added another
feather to his cap last Sunday when his last project, “True Citizens’
won a star prize of N1 million at the Nigerian Integrity Film Award.
Hosted by the Federal Government of Nigeria, the film won in the
category of Public Conduct Film Prize backed by the Code of Conduct
Bureau (CCB) 2012 .
The event took place at the Oriental Hotels, Lagos. The award winning
filmmaker who won seven awards from his TV drama series, Happy Family
on NTA network from the popular TAVA Awards 2011 is now a force to be
identified with in the entertainment industry.
The movie, True Citizen, which won him the coveted award featured
Nollywood, Alex Usifo Omiagbo, former Big Brother Africa winner, Uti
Nwachukwu, Alex Ekubo, Bryan Okwara, and Kenneth Okoli.
His newest work, A Wish, featuring the likes of Funke
Akindele-Oloyede, Patience Ozorkwor, Hafeez Oyetoro ( Saka), Bishop Imeh
Umoh, and Helen Paul from the stable of Diamond Groove Pictures is
currently having an impressive run at the cinemas.
The movie has been tipped to shatter records at the cinema due to the
presence of talented Nollywood actress and brand ambassador, Funke
Akindele and Bishop Imeh Umoh, the man who is beginning to become very
noticeable as a result of his wittiness and passion for comedy roles. It
would be recalled that Funke Akindele’s movie, Jenifa made a box office
hit at the cinema.
Speaking on the award, the award winning filmmaker said
‘’This award has shown that there will always be a reward for
diligence and hard work, I am very happy to receive it and I promise my
fans that I will keep doing more for the industry”
