“It was fun and a little demanding. It was an all star cast so I had to work extra hard as a director. I’m not sure yet when we’ll release. Thank God the film has distribution already, so it’s up to the studio,” Leila told NEWS-ONE yesterday.
‘And Then There Was You’ is a Turning Point Pictures production in association with OHTV, headed by Akin Salami and Michael Djaba.
