THE Ghost and the House of Truth, a film by Temple Productions, in association with Slate 1 Films and The Mission Entertainment, premiered at the Urbanworld Film Festival 2019, on Friday at the AMC Empire – Theater12, New York.

The movie tells the story of a counselor whose 8-year-old daughter goes missing. “Frustrated with the police investigation, she takes it upon herself to catch the perpetrator, but as time runs out things take an unexpected turn”

It stars BAFTA breakthrough Brit winner Susan Wokoma, Kate Henshaw, Fabian Oloyede, Kemi ‘Lala’ Akindoju with a supporting cast that includes, Uzo Ozimkpa, Toyin Oshinaike, Seun Ajayi, Tope Tedela, Chioma ‘Chigurl’ Omeruah, Keira Heywatch, Oludara Egerton-Shyngle and an outstanding cast of Child actors and an international crew.

“The Ghost and the House of Truth” is the sixth movie from the stables of the Temple Productions and the second collaborative work with director Akin Omotoso and producer Ego Boyo.

According to Ego Boyo, the movie “is an emotional, thought-provoking and powerfully real drama that takes on socio-cultural issues, highlighting society’s basic requirement for more effective law enforcement and judicial, profiling and data bases for citizens. It’s a simple but unforgettable story.”

Nwakaego “Ego” Boyo made her debut as an actor in the Soap Opera, ‘Checkmate’ which aired on the NTA network service for five years playing the role of Ann Haastrope – a role which endeared her to Nigerian audiences.

In 1996, she produced her first feature film “VIOLATED”, a Moving Movies Production, directed by the late Amaka Igwe. The film was considered one of the highest-selling home video productions of its time and has gone down in Nigerian Film industry history as one of the best Romantic Dramas, and the benchmark for Romantic films in Nigeria.

Ego set up her own production company later that same year and continues as the managing director /CEO of the company. Set up as a fully digital production company with a rental arm and working in production from end to end, a service it continues to provide across two continents.

In 1998, Ego delved back into production with another collaboration with Amaka Igwe, this time the film was “TO LIVE AGAIN” which was directed by Amaka Igwe and went on to garner several THEMA award nominations, and  REEL award nominations and eventually to win best Film/Picture at the Reel Awards in 1999.

In 2002, Ego produced arguably the biggest romantic feature film of the decade “KEEPING FAITH” directed by Steve Gukas starring Joke Silva, Richard Mofe Damijo, Olu Jacobs, a relatively unknown Genevieve Nnaji as well as Funlola Aofiyebi, Bimbo Akintola and industry staples Keppy Ekpeyoung and Fred Amata as well as Veteran actor, Ibidun Alison.
