My new movie to correct money ritual myths — Filmmaker

A Canada-based director, Abimbola Oyadiran, has said that his new movie titled, Redemption Code: Break at Dawn, was inspired by his desire to educate people on the myths surrounding money rituals.

Speaking during the premiere of the movie recently, Oyadiran added that the movie also portrayed the extent a person could go for love.

He said, “As a kid, my parents and other people used to tell us to be wary of strange people. They also used to say that certain people became rich, because they used their family members for money-making rituals.

“But, I never believed those things. My question had always been— how does a human being become money? All the money in circulation are numbered.

“So, if one is going to bring magic money into the fold, what numbers would they have?

“That was why I used this narrative to show what a man can achieve if he is courageous and is driven by love.

“I am saddened that many people have been needlessly killed, because we allow this dangerous myth to persist.”

He added that the movie, which tells the story of a lover who went in search of his girlfriend who was kidnapped by ritualists, was shot in several parts of Western Nigeria, especially in Ile Ife (Osun State) and  Ekiti State.

According to him, 90 per cent of the post-production was done in Canada.

The parent production company is Ontario Lighthouse Studios Inc., which is supported by the government of Alberta, Canada.
