Nollywood filmmaker Doris Ariole’s
film, Benevolence, took centre stage in Orlando, Florida, USA, as she
unveiled her first Christian movie in the United States.
Benevolence earned a place in Hollywood
after it was selected and nominated for ‘Most Inspirational Feature
Film’ at the International Christian Film Festival in Orlando,
April 2016.
Benevolence will be screened for two
consecutive weekends, starting August 12 in Orlando.
The filmmaker said Benevolence, a movie
in the genre of Christian romance, is about a young woman called
Ruth, her tenacity to hold on to her faith in God despite hard times,
to keep her hope alive for a better tomorrow and insist on the kind
love that she believes she deserves.
The film is partly inspired by Ruth and
Boaz’s story in the Bible, but spiced up in a thought-provoking and
incredible storytelling manner.
It features top acts in Nollywood
including Kalu Ikeagwu, Ijeoma Peters, Emeka Smith (the comedian),
Tim Godfrey (award winning gospel artist), Patrick Doyle, Chioma
Nwosu and model-singer Fragrance Kayoh.
On why she ventured into Christian
movie, Doris said, ‘I make Christian movies because God called me
to do so. Christian movies weren’t my initial plan, I just wanted
to make ‘morally correct movies’.
