Salvation is coming: Support Our Film Production

What are you raising money for?

I am raising money to produce my first feature film, Salvation Is Coming, a Nigerian faith-drama about a newly married couple facing an impossible choice. Days after their wedding, Ifeanyi learns she is pregnant and that a tumour in her head will not wait nine months. Treatment could save her; waiting could save their child. She chooses to trust, and her choice turns her marriage into a war between her atheist husband fighting for her life and her Christian mother praying for her surrender. The money goes directly into making the film: the shoot days, the crew, the cast, the locations, and the post-production that turns footage into something you can feel. We are building the budget from a mix of sources: private investment, and community support like yours. Both matter. Your contribution helps prove this story has people behind it , belief that gives every other conversation, including with investors, more weight and it strengthens the parts of the process where a little more care directly raises what ends up on screen: the right people in the right roles, the right time in the right places, the finishing that separates a film that is merely completed from one that is genuinely good. In short, I am raising money to make this film well, not just to make it exist. Every naira is an investment in getting a story this fragile and this important onto the screen with the care it deserves.

Why are you raising the funds?

This film comes from the two hardest lessons of my life. In 2021, my father was kidnapped, and for four days there was nothing any of us could do but pray, wait, and love him across a distance we could not cross. Later, I heard about a couple at my church: the husband was diagnosed with cancer soon after they married, and his wife never left. When he was gone, she went on to have their baby. It left me with a question I still cannot answer: could I keep loving someone at 2am when nothing is coming back to me? That not-knowing is what this film is made of. I am raising these funds now because the film is at the moment where momentum matters most. The screenplay is in its fifth draft, a director is attached, and we are moving toward shooting in 2027. This is the stage where a project either gathers the resources to be made properly or stalls.This fundraiser is what lets me protect its quality before the cameras roll, and it lets people be part of it from the beginning, not just as an audience at the end. I want this film made with belief behind it, not only money. And that belief matters most right now.

What will the funds raised help achieve?

The funds will help get Salvation Is Coming onto the screen with the care it deserves. Practically, every kobo goes into the essentials of production: shoot days, the right cast and crew, the locations, and the finishing that lets an intimate, fragile story land the way it should. Every contribution brings the film closer to being made, and made well, not rushed or cut short. That is the immediate challenge these funds solve: making sure a film about tenderness is made tenderly. But the impact reaches past the film itself. In many of our communities, cancer and terminal illness are spoken about in whispers, if at all, a private grief carried without language. Salvation Is Coming gives that grief a story, and the people living inside it the dignity of being seen. Alongside the film, I am building a companion initiative: honest conversations about living with cancer, about love tested by illness, and about the hard, tender business of facing it as a family. The film is the doorway; those conversations are what I hope it opens. So your contribution achieves two things at once: it helps make a beautiful film, and a useful one, something that could help a real family, somewhere, find words for a season they did not know how to talk about. That is the change I am asking you to help create.
