COMING SOON: Finding Messiah

Oscar Heman-Ackah, a Ghanaian-Nigerian music executive and creative entrepreneur, makes his feature film directorial debut with a political music drama, Finding Messiah.

Finding Messiah revolves around the fictional nation of The Republic of Zambay, an ancient civilization complete with its own culture, language and sensibilities. The film deals with a messy political unrest as it features a group of protesters fighting an established political class that is bent on oppressing the people it is meant to protect.

Executive produced, written and directed by Oscar Heman-Ackah, the film features Pete Edochie, Ngozi Ezeonu, Taiwo Ajayi-Lycett, Alex Usifo, Ejike Asiegbu, Daddy Showkey, Sunshine Rosman, Bucci Franklin and Uzi Kwednu.

Oscar Heman-Ackah expressed his desire and gratitude over the film, “One of the greatest challenges I faced in creating this film was the struggle to bring the beautiful, yet fictitious world of Zambay to life. It meant I needed to customize EVERYTHING to ensure that it is as believable as possible. As crazy as it sounds, we had to build a mini community to achieve this goal… Houses, executive villas, offices, streets… you name it, we built it.

I want to say a huge thank you to my production team, who went to war with me, and fought through some of the toughest conditions… the cast and crew for trusting me with their talents and time… my entire family for standing and praying with me… and most importantly my super amazing wife for being by far the best support system any partner could possibly ask for. Greatest thanks to God for giving me this vision, and the means to achieve.”
