‘HELLO RAIN’ BY CJ OBASI IS FINALLY HERE AFTER ONE YEAR.
Hello, Rain will get a world premiere at the 64th International Short Film Festival, Oberhausen
Directed by CJ Obasi, Hello, Rain is based on an afrofututuristic short story by World Fantasy, Nebula and Hugo award-winning author, Nnedi Okorafor. It is about three scientist witches who through a combination of juju and technology create magical wigs that grant them untold supernatural powers. As with everything, power corrupts and Rain, the leader finds herself in a confrontation with her friends, where she must stop them before they destroy the entire nation.
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.
