On your daily commute from point A to point B, if you take time out to just watch people watch, there is so much content to be gotten out of it,” he said. “There is comedy all around us, every single day.
The actor, who is fondly loved for his comedic skits on social media, said his source of inspiration on his skits on Instagram is definitely everyday Nigeria. Kekere-Ekun’s message to Nigerian youths through the movie ‘The Three Thieves’ is that “hardship doesn’t and shouldn’t justify crime, and even when the chips are down and all seems lost, one must just keep going!” “Once you start trying to follow trends, or what is working for other people, at the expense of your own unique selling point, it’s a slippery slope,” he added. This enabled us actually build a genuine rapport that I believe made our on-screen friendship all the more believable and natural.”Īccording to him, as an actor, content creator and event host, what sets him apart is trying as much as possible to stay true to himself, his brand of humour and to what people who consume his content respond well to. “I would also commend Trino Motion Pictures for providing accommodation for us in the same place while we were shooting.
They are great guys and very talented individuals. On how easy it was to blend with the other characters, Kekere-Ekun said: “It was surprisingly very easy to blend with my other co-leads. That said, there are sides of me that are in that mold, so I just had to tap into those aspects of myself, to help bring the character to life.” Koye Kekere-Ekun, another major actor in the movie who appeared to be a bit gentle amongst his friends in the movie said: “Tega (my character in the movie) is definitely the most laid back and level-headed of the trio, so my portrayal of him had to reflect that. “That being said, it is imperative that we know and understand global best practices, with regards to the different aspects of the film process, in order to compete favourably with our counterparts across the globe,” he said.įaqua said what sets the movie, ‘The Three Thieves’ apart from other comic movies is the story, everything and everyone else who helped to translate its amazing story arc to screen just as it should be or even better. “In truth, they work with ideal situations over there as far as film on a global case is concerned and in fairness to us, we’re still growing our industry over here and our case is quite bespoke. Having studied at Los Angeles, he said there are salient lessons for Nigerian actors, actresses, directors and producers to learn from there.Īccording to him, one of these lessons is the level of professionalism required for this serious business of film. The actor thinks that Spirit of Joy definitely rubbed off on the finished product. Having featured in the movie, ‘The Three Thieves’ he said he is expecting positive reactions all round for sure, adding that it was truly fun working on the project. He said there was definitely a healthy blend of two or more in the movie, ‘Three Thieves’, but not all of it. Speaking on how he merges his multiple skills of acting, directing, modelling, choreography and singing, Faqua said all of his skills require a great level of thought and intentionality to them. “Unfortunate situations where graduates are unable to secure adequate and befitting jobs that are commensurate with the level of training that they have spent years to acquire.” Shawn Faqua, one of the major characters in the movie said that the movie ‘Three Thieves’, in his opinion, portrays the Nigerian state in its truest form. The three award winning actors Shawn Faqua, Koye Kekere-Ekun and Frank Donga featured in the movie share their experiences in the movie and their careers with BDSUNDAY. The movie is however, clear on the message that crime is never an option. It tells the story of three young men who are frustrated with their current employment and then start to rationalise theft since no one will be harmed, especially as they stand a chance to make millions of naira. In the spirit of celebrating Nigeria’s independence, the amazing comedy movie, ‘Three Thieves’ addresses a topical issue that is, the reality of the present Nigerian youth.
In the centre of this are the youth who struggle to make ends meet. The day to day life of an average Nigerian is full of challenges and efforts to escape such challenges come with huge prices.
