Nigerian-Born Global superstar Burna Boy is expanding his creative footprint by stepping into the film industry as an executive producer. He will co-produce the upcoming thriller, 3 Cold Dishes, in collaboration with Ifind, Alma Productions, Asurf Films, Martian Network, and Black Mic Mac—a production company committed to highlighting African and Middle Eastern talents.
3 Cold Dishes centers on Esosa, Fatouma, and Giselle, three women who, despite their past as sex trafficking victims, have ascended to powerful roles in the underground world of prostitution. However, their success is overshadowed by the lingering trauma and the relentless pursuit of vengeance against the men who enslaved them.
Burna Boy will produce the film through Spaceship Films, the production company he founded with his mother, Bose Ogulu, in 2015. The film is directed by Asurf Oluseyi, a 2016 African Magic Viewer’s Choice Award (AMVCA) winner for Best Short Film for A Day with Death.
In an interview with Variety Magazine, Oluseyi described the film as a “testament to the strength and resilience of its characters” and an “African cinematic journey like no other.”
The cast features prominent Nollywood actors such as Osas Ighodaro, Wale Ojo, Femi Jacobs, Ruby Akubueze, Brutus Richards, and Greg Ojefua. Additionally, it includes talented actors from the Ivory Coast and Senegal, including Fat Toure, Maud Guerard, Amelie Mbaye, and Mentor Ba.
3 Cold Dishes is one of several projects under development by Black Mic Mac, which is building a robust portfolio showcasing African storytellers. Other projects in their lineup include The Devil Inside, The Three Rascals, Apophenia, La Sape, The Great Transporter, The Cage, and Let The Earth Burn.
