Cape Town – South African media personality Pearl Thusi is in Nigeria, filming a short film called Her Perfect Life.

Pearl announced the news on Twitter.

“I’ve always wanted to shoot a movie in Nigeria. So glad it’s finally happening… thank you for this @MoAbudu. I’ve always believed in pan African unity, we see it everyday in music and it should be seen more in film and I’m so excited to have added to this part of my journey,” wrote Pearl in an Instagram post.

According to News24, the short film is one of two directorial debuts by Nigerian media mogul Mosunmola Abudu.

Mosunmola wrote two short films after graduating from the London Film School’s director course.

“I have written two short films that I will be directing – Her perfect life and Iyamo Mi (My Wife), a predominantly Yoruba language film,” said Mosunmola as quoted by the report.

The story revolves around 39-year-old Onajite Johnson-Ibrahim, who appears to have it all but wishes to “end it all”.
