According to Chris Attoh, the movie seeks to be a great platform for collaboration and the exchange of knowledge among industry stakeholders.
Gloria Saahene-Britwum a member of the Nine cast, shared her experience with YEN.com.gh, saying,
It was simply a learning curve for a young creative and actress like me. Apart from the compelling story, the amount of talent and the level of professionalism each time we were on set was immense and I'm not surprised the movie is going places. I think The Essence Festival is even the starting point. There is more to come and its all well deserved.
