Actress Jennifer Eliogu is on top of her career at the moment. The mother of two children from Anambra State, recently completed work on her debut film entitled, “From Within”, which starred notable Nollywood stars.

Shot on locations in Abuja, during the last Yuletide season, the family-oriented movie is directed by Afam Okeke.

Elated Eliogu disclosed that she's poised for the world premiere of the movie in Lagos soon. The forthcoming premiere, according to the screen diva holds at the posh and pristine Oriental Hotel, Lekki, on Sunday, March 20, after which the train will storm Abuja, South Africa, UK and US, respectively, to further project and promote the big budget make believe work.

Aside starring Eliogu, who has put in 15 solid years in the industry, other leading role interpreters in the flick are, Kenneth Okonkwo, Ebele Okaro-Onyiuke and Thelma Okoduwa.

Emerging talents such as; Dorothy Njemanze, Bibiana Francis, Paul Sambo, Habibat Lasisi and several others also sizzled in the well-scripted film produced by Eliogu's Silk Project Production outfit. In a chat with us, Eliogu disclosed that the need to give back to the society, through such family oriented projects inspired the film. “I've always wanted to produce a family oriented movie that the whole family will sit down and watch.

And when the time and fund finally came I decided to give back to the society through From Within. It's a complete family movie that will help restore confidence and true love in most troubled and scattered homes. Another reason I decided to embark on this project is because I was tired of seeing obscene pictures on air, all in the name of movies.”

After the Lagos premiere, we will be storming South Africa, Abuja, UK and later US, to show the world the stuff Nollywood is made of, because it's a movie that will blow the minds of many.”
