Murray-Bruce, who represented Bayelsa State in the Senate, in a statement, on Wednesday, announced the collaborative expansion of his Silverbird Group in association with his Dream Magic Studios.
Located in Los Angeles, California, United States, Dream Magic Studios is a production studio complex and full-service pre-and post-production house, which he founded in 2013.
The first film slated for production from the studio is a Nigerian-based comedic-drama titled ‘DNA’.
The production, with an anticipated worldwide holiday release in 2019, follows the stories of several Nigerian men seeking to migrate to the United States with their families by applying through the United States Embassy.
The path to immigration takes a laughable, yet dramatic turn for several hopefuls, when the outcome of their required paternity tests aren’t quite what they were expecting.
“As Silverbird Group continues to deliver opportunities for cultural and economic development in Nigeria, we are committed to bringing to life the stories of African people on film throughout the world,” explained Murray-Bruce.
“I’ve been thoroughly blessed to serve the people of Nigeria for over 30 years and this collaboration aims to spread our rich and vibrant culture across the globe with innovative, entertaining and diverse programming.”
The former senator disclosed that he has assembled a dream team to bridge the gap between the burgeoning entertainment culture of the African Diaspora and Hollywood entertainment.
He added that a veteran Hollywood studio executive, Davina Douthard, will take the helm of the upcoming film slate while Dream Magic Studios operations will be overseen by Jonathan Murray-Bruce, his son and company Vice President.
Murray-Bruce was elected to represent Bayelsa East Senatorial District on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Senate.
