The new FilmOne Studios ‘Aba Blues’ is set for a theatrical release on March 20.

Set in Aba, Abia State, the story written and directed by Jack’enneth Opukeme, the filmmaker behind Farmer’s Bride explored people and their resilience to make their dreams a reality despite challenges.

Ladun Awobokun, the Chief Content Officer, FilmOne Entertainment noted that the film reflects the studio’s continued commitment to culturally grounded storytelling. “Aba Blues represents the stories we are intentional about telling at FilmOne: honest, emotionally resonant, and rooted in who we are. It is a story of love and resilience, but also of consequence and choice,” she said.

“This is a film about flawed people navigating complex relationships,” added Opukeme. “Aba has a rhythm you cannot ignore. That rhythm shaped the tone, the pacing, and the emotional core of the story.”
