After enjoying a talk of the town reception when it premiered in the city of Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, the movie I’ll Take My Chances is now set for a Lagos premiere on Friday 24th February, 2102 at the Silverbird Cinemas, Lagos.

This is the first movie that the United Nations Youth Envoy on Environment will be producing, this she did in style with Emem Isong, one of the most respected hands in the Nollywood.

Having enjoyed a grand premiere in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital at the banquet hall of the Meridien hotel to be precise on Saturday 24th September, 2011, the movie is now expected to draw a larger crowd to it than it did at the Uyo premiere.

The dance themed movie boasts of an impressive cast of Ini Edo, Bryan Okwara, Sam Loco Efe (of blessed memory), President of ANTP Prince Jide Kosoko, Biola Williams, Lilian Ikpe, and dance act Ashleigh Clark among others.

The movie was directed by Desmond Elliot, a versatile actor. The movie tells the story of IK, a young theatre arts graduate, who majored in dance in the U.S. He hopes to stage a drama, but lacks the fund to get through with it, and he seeks the help of his girlfriend, Giselle. However, IK has to go for his youth service in a village in Cross River and there he meets the beautiful Idara (Ini Edo).

Despite their obvious differences, the two are drawn together, but Idara harbours a secret. She has been selected to be the next high priestess of Unek, a diety worshipped by her people through dance. Something will have to give as she is torn between her love for IK and the path destiny had chosen for her.
