Kuramo Bay Filmworks is currently seeking actors for a micro-budget feature film titled 'Water Has No Enemy' - a Political thriller set among the Nigerian community in London.

Plot Summary: On the run from security agents out to kill him, a corrupt Nigerian Politician escapes to London - is betrayed by his mistress - and abducted by a group of young Nigerian activists. Using the high-voltage dynamics of a thriller, the screenplay sets out to explore the root causes of extreme poverty in Nigeria, a country with a vast wealth of natural resources.

We can only offer to cover travel expenses within the Greater London area and provide refreshments during rehearsals along with travel expenses and proper meals during the shoot. We have secured a limited theatrical release and online DVD distribution deal with one of the leading specialist independent exhibitors of urban films in the UK so we may also be able to offer a deferred fee if the film does well.

We also aim to get the film screened at International Film Festivals. We also undertake to provide cast members with a DVD copy of the finished film. Producer & director Ade Adepegba has directed drama shorts & documentaries for mainstream UK TV networks (ITV, Channel 4).

His first short film 'The Collector' (1994) was broadcast on Channel 4 as part of a series of innovative short films and played at MGM cinemas in London for six months supporting 'Reservoir Dogs' and at the Ritzy in Brixton supporting Spike Lee's 'Clockers'. It also premiered in the U.S. at the Brooklyn Museum of Art as part of 'SENSATIONS' - Saatchi & Saatchi's touring exhibition of works by young British artists.

After a brief stint at the BBC World Service, Ade spent six years in Nigeria working in various capacities in the Film & TV industry and in 2004 was one of five Nigerian filmmakers given production awards by The French Ministry of External Affairs' African Cinema Fund (Fonds Images Afrique).

He returned to the UK in 2007 to write and develop a couple of micro-budget feature films including the current project. AUDITION DATES: 19th, 20th, 23rd, 26th July 2010. Please email CV, showreel and a very recent picture to:kbfcasting@gmail.com
