UNPRECEDENTED SCALE AND AUTHENTIC STORYTELLING

Shot across five African countries – Nigeria, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Mauritania – “3 Cold Dishes” represents one of the most ambitious Pan-African film productions to date. The 110-minute feature balances authentic African voices with universal themes that resonate globally, addressing the serious issue of human trafficking through the lens of empowerment and retribution.

The film is presented in both English and French, with full dubbing and subtitles available, making it accessible to diverse African and international audiences. The technical specifications include DCP format, 2.39:1 anamorphic ratio, and 7.1 Dolby surround sound for premium theatrical presentation.

PROVEN AUDIENCE DEMAND

The film has already demonstrated significant audience interest, with the first teaser earning over 5 million views in just 72 hours, generating organic buzz globally. The teaser was notably showcased at Burna Boy’s Paris concert, creating unprecedented crossover appeal between music and film audiences.

“The response to our initial content has been overwhelming,” said director Asurf Oluseyi. “This tells us that audiences are hungry for authentic African stories told on this scale, with this level of production value and star power.”

The UK and European theatrical release will be handled by EVRITFILMS, a specialized distribution company focused on bringing authentic African cinema to international audiences. EVRITFILMS will coordinate the comprehensive marketing campaign across key territories, utilizing their expertise in reaching African diaspora communities and mainstream audiences.
