Play Network Studios and Mondjila Studios have embarked on a Pan-African collaboration that would create a new chapter in the history of African film making.
Their project titled “The Skeleton Coast,” was set against the backdrop of Namibia’s enigmatic Skeleton Coast, a place known to local bushmen tribes as ‘The Land God Made in Anger.’
Here, a surreal landscape unfurled, with over a thousand vessels strewn along the coastline like the skeletal remains of a forgotten maritime graveyard. Charles Okpaleke of Play Network Studios, a torchbearer for modern African storytelling and Panashe Daringo of Mondjila Studios, a powerhouse in Namibian filmmaking, embarked on a journey that transcended borders. Their mission was to champion Pan-Africanism through a collaborative film production of unprecedented scale.Principal photography for “The Skeleton Coast” had already commenced in Namibia under the watchful eye of the renowned director, Robert O. Peters.
The cast includes a tapestry of African talent spanning multiple nations: Thapelo Mokoena from South Africa, Ini Dima-Okojie from Nigeria, Tjuna Daringo representing Namibia, Mawuli Gavor hailing from Ghana, Cindy Mahlangu of South Africa, and Damilola Adegbite, another Nigerian luminary. Joining this assembly of Pan-African talent was none other than Eric Roberts, a Golden Globe and Academy Award-nominated actor with a four-decade legacy of international acting experience.
