For too long, the Nollywood industry has been dominated by a predictable rotation of faces. While many of these names are undeniably talented, we also believe it’s time to open the door, wide, to fresh, fierce, and untapped Nigerian talent ready to redefine the screen. The time has come to disrupt the status quo and unearth a new era of Nigerian stars, actors whose performances will shake audiences, inspire the world, and truly elevate African storytelling to unprecedented levels. And so, we are proud to announce our nationwide casting call for the next generation of Nigerian actors.
A New Dawn for African Cinema Begins Here. From our early days of revolutionizing the real estate industry with cinematic marketing to our current mission of reimagining Nollywood through futuristic storytelling and global-standard production, one truth has always driven us; excellence demands bold reinvention. We’re not here to follow trends. We’re here to set them. And that’s exactly what we intend to do with this next chapter by building a dynamic new wave of actors who can carry the weight of complex characters, evoke real emotion, and deliver unforgettable performances worthy of global acclaim. What This Talent Search Is All About? Our goal is simple but ambitious: to expand the pool of remarkable Nigerian actors by discovering hidden gems across the country and nurturing them into future icons of African cinema. Through a rigorous, inspiring, and creative process, we will: -Scout and audition aspiring actors across multiple Nigerian cities, starting with Ibadan, Lagos, and Abuja - Cast selected talents in a variety of short films, mini-series, and feature films produced by Eden Oasis Films. - Train and develop new actors through workshops, rehearsals, and on-set experiences. - Document the journey, celebrating their growth and introducing them to the world. - Launch a new generation of superstars, bringing freshness and unpredictability back to Nollywood.Why Now? Why This?
Because the world is hungry for African stories. Because Netflix, Amazon Prime, and global film festivals are turning their gaze toward Nigeria and what they’ll find must reflect the depth, diversity, and dynamism of our people. Because our industry cannot grow when the same ten faces play every lead role. Because across Nigeria, in university classrooms, community stages, street corners, and village schools, there are brilliant, unknown actors waiting for just one shot to be seen. And because we at Eden Oasis Films have chosen to be the bridge between those dreams and their global fulfillment.
