With
promises of high-end entertainment comes the fifth season of the popular
television series, Tales of Eve. Tales of Eve is produced by Genesis Studios. The
new season is titled, ‘Thanks for Coming’. The thrust of this season is about
prostitution otherwise known as runs.
The
producer, Olatubosun Olaegbe said that “aside the need to entertain, Genesis
Studios take on concepts from a human angle in order to impact lives by
highlighting on key features like overcoming challenges and moral values.
“We know
this is a kind of society where people go through a lot. However, if they are
determined and focused, they can always come out successful. We also know the
importance of womanhood. They are our mothers and without them, a lot of things
won’t go right. This is why we decided to create a content built around them,”
Olatubosun Olaegbe says.
Shot
on location, in the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and other environs around
Lagos, ‘Thanks for Coming’ is set in a glamorous world of three undergraduates, Irene, Boma and Eric whose
paths cross by providence, but become intertwined by the circumstances that
life throws their way as they navigate their way through university.
Irene
and Boma are completely different girls who form an unlikely friendship. Irene
is your ultimate femme fatale. A 300 level student of Business Administration
whose painful past turned into an unrepentant runs girl. Boma on the other hand
is a young jambite who faces family problems and financial constraints.
Fate
brings to the fore an inevitable friendship as Irene is forced to confront with
the shadow of her past through Boma who is about to become involved in the
illicit trade of their bodies.
Irene’s
life takes a different turn when she falls in love with her classmate Eric, a
young intelligent man. Eric’s relationship with Irene brings Eric more
heartbreaks than he envisaged. As Irene becomes more involved with Eric, she
longs to live a clean life. But the question is…Will her love for Eric win over
her desire for wealth?
The
path these three students recklessly tread is much steeper and darker than they
imagine as it is one in which they may be unable to find their way back.
The
director of the series, Imoh Umoren – A Canada trained cinematographer and
AMVCA Award nominee for ‘Best Film Online’ describes the season as replete with
amazing performances and real stories.
“I
am very impressed with the actors who deliver the whole story professionally. A
lot of the time, the scenes don’t look like acting. They look more like real
life and people will be able to relate to it because a lot of things that the
girls depicts in the story are things that everyday students in Nigeria are
struggling with”.
Technically,
the cinematography is amazing so it will be top notch,” the Canada trained
director says.
The
new season of the drama series features likes of Nancy Isime as the lead act,
Judith Audu, Adeniyi Johnson, Jerry Smart Ordu, Ifeoma Ifeka and a host of
others.
The
new season of Tales of Eve will be aired in March, the producers revealed.
