Nollywood star actress, Stephanie Linus’s stocks are rising up north as her last film project, Dry, written, produced and directed by her is still making great impact around the world.
The movie has been selected for screen for the second time at the highly coveted Pan African Film & Arts Festival (PAFF) in Los Angeles, USA this February.
As a prelude to the festival, Linus was recognised at the first ever Blacks In Cinema presentation held on Monday at the Los Angeles City Council Chambers.
Los Angeles City Council President Herb J. Wesson kicked off the Black History Month by honouring the actors and filmmakers who paved the way for people all walks of life to be represented in film.
With the help of some legendary African-American actors and filmmakers, the day was officially proclaimed #BlacksInCinema in Los Angeles.
In 2016, Linus’ Dry won Best Narrative Feature at the PAFF. It screens again on February 9, February 13 and February 18 with an interactive session after the opening night.
The movie has made immense positive impact across the world in changing the narrative concerning child marriage and other forms of social injustice.
It was recalled to the festival this year due to its world-class production quality and continuous importance in global human rights advocacy.
