Nollywood producer, Chris Odeh, said the film will be shot entirely in Lagos beginning on August 21 and is expected to premiere on December 25 across cinemas in Africa.
“The idea is to create an African Christmas movie that will resonate well with people. When the director shared this idea with me, I didn’t hesitate to jump on it to make it a reality. I can’t wait for all of you to see it,” he said.
One Night Guests follows several individuals whose paths cross unexpectedly on one fateful Christmas day. What begins as an ordinary morning quickly unravels into a series of surprising events leading to revelations, conflicts, and connections that will change lives forever.
