FilmOne Entertainment has officially signed a distribution agreement for one of our highly anticipated Nollywood films; Headless, marking another significant collaboration within Nigeria’s growing film ecosystem. The signing ceremony, held at the Filmhouse Support Office in Lagos, was attended by filmmaker and Maturion Films CEO, Michael W.

With FilmOne’s robust distribution network and strategic market reach, Headless is set to screen across multiple cities, giving cinema-goers nationwide the opportunity to experience the film on the big screen.
Speaking at the signing, Michael W. Ndiomu shared his excitement about the collaboration:
“I’m thrilled to be working with FilmOne Entertainment on Headless. Their platform gives the film the visibility and reach it deserves. What makes this project especially personal is the level of commitment on set: the lead actor performed a death-defying stunt himself, without a stunt double. That authenticity translates directly to the screen, and we’re confident audiences will feel it.”

Also commenting on the partnership, Ladun Awobokun, Chief Content Officer, FilmOne Entertainment, said:

Ndiomu, whose previous work includes the Netflix hit The Origin: Madam Koi-Koi, also distributed by FilmOne Entertainment; further reinforcing a partnership rooted in trust, shared ambition and proven success.
The Film directed and written by Michael W. Ndiomu, follows a morally ambiguous Nollywood film producer who is discovered with a decapitated human head in the boot of his car. The investigation that follows exposes dark intersections between politics, crime, and the film industry.
