Obasi said:
Guys, It’s been over 16 months of work! From receiving the option to adapt this gorgeous story by the visionary @nnediokorafor, to an extensive scripting and pre-production, with a team so dedicated, so imaginative and talented, to a production so demanding of blood, sweat and the splitting of backbones, to 8 months of post-production with some of the most disciplined guys I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.
Hello, Rain will get a world premiere at the 64th International Short Film Festival, Oberhausen (Kurzfilmtage, Oberhausen) – the oldest short film festival in the world on May 6.
