FilmOne Entertainment is set to bring Gammy & The Living Things to cinemas across the country from September 5, 2025.
Speaking about the release of the movie, Victoria Ogar, Head of Distribution, FilmOne Entertainment, said, “Gammy represents everything we’ve always believed about Nigerian stories; that they are powerful enough to connect with global audiences while remaining locally resonant. This is proof that African animation can stand tall on the big screen.”
At the heart of the film is Jude “MI” Abaga, as Gammy, an ambitious agama lizard determined to chase his dreams beyond the confines of his world. The story, told with humour, music, and heart, follows Gammy on a journey to Lagos, blending relatable struggles with uplifting cultural themes. Joining Abaga in the ensemble are industry icons; Joke Silva, comedian Bovi Ugboma, and screen icon Pete Edochie, creating a cast that brings both star power and depth to the project.
For Kene Okwuosa, Group CEO of Filmhouse Group (Filmhouse Cinemas, FilmOne Entertainment, FilmOne Studios) and Kava; the film underscores the broader vision of building a complete African film ecosystem.
Okwuosa said, “At Filmhouse Group, our mission has always been to scale Nollywood and give it global visibility. Bringing Gammy & The Living Things to cinemas is another example of how we are pushing boundaries, investing in new genres, and making sure African creativity has the platform it deserves.”
With FilmOne Entertainment leading distribution, Gammy & The Living Things is set to take its place as a milestone release in Nigerian animation and cinema history.
