The film village and resort is located in Oyo State, and sits on about 74 acres of land. It is comprised of thatched houses with drawings portraying the aesthetics of Yoruba culture, as well as a stable for horses and other animals.
The facility, which is set in a serene and picturesque location, offers a quiet atmosphere for artistic expression. It is also equipped with modern infrastructure, such as studios and state-of-the-art equipment.
Since it was opened, several filmmakers have used the facilities at the film village. A TV series, Eleran, was shot entirely in the film village, with the production team praising the facilities and support staff for enhancing their production quality.
Other films that have been shot there include Oko Iyabo and Ajoje.
Also, prominent figures in the film industry, such as Deyemi Okanlawon, Muyiwa Ademola, Lateef Adedimeji, Iyabo Ojo, Adebimpe Oyebade, Toyin Abraham and Niyi Akinmolayan have made use of the location.
Recently, Abraham shot scenes for her forthcoming movie titled, Iyalode, at the film village.
On his part, Chatta stated that the village was not complete yet as several other facilities will be added.
He had said, “This is just the beginning. We are not yet done with this setup.”
In addition to being a filming location, the village also hosts several workshops and training programmes for filmmakers.
