HOODRUSH! Upcoming Nigerian Indie Film





Judging from the trailer, Hoodrush seems like a film that is set to give a definite RUSH! Tagged a musical thriller, this is what the website says in description of the film: 


Hoodrush, a musical thriller starring some of the best young talents in Nollywood will be released sometime this year. This movie, which is causing quite some excitement among industry insiders features OC Ukeje, Bimbo Akintola, Gabriel Afolayan, , Chelsea Eze, and Ijeoma Agu. The movie features original music, which by all accounts is amazing. Hoodrush is a production of Flipsyde Studios.



The Story

HOODRUSH is a musical thriller detailing the travails of two brothers closely bonded by their love for music; but deeply separated by their means for success. Shez and Tavier are two of a kind pursuing a Herculean dream of becoming music stars. But all they have is their amazing vocal talents, good looks, a crib in the ghetto and a menial job that could hardly pay for their clothing and feeding expenses. 
They soon realize they need more to achieve their dreams, and participating and hoping to win a credible talent hunt show comes as their only natural option. Being at the bottom of the societal grid, ghetto life’s ugly fabric begins to wear on them and their eventual vulnerability puts them at the mercy of the high and mighty. 

It is beautifully shot film from the looks of the trailer and we can only hope that it will live up to expectations and be a good film. I am usually suspicious of the thrilling trailers from nollywood that never give way to great films but Bimbo Akintola is very selective of her choice of work so this will be something to look out for. 
A musical thriller from Nollywood? this is a MUST WATCH!
