“AMAA Nominee! Best first feature film by a director! God’s ways, wow! I am so humbled, I can’t stop shaking with awe. Team No More Tears, I owe it to you guys, thank you for allowing me to work with you, God bless you,” wrote Chavula Mhango on her Facebook status.
Other local movies that expressed interest to submit entries did not make it.
“I submitted B’ella but I was communicated that it would not be considered for the 2014 awards because it was late. We did not submit The Designer by Chimwemwe Mkwezalamba because we felt it has a long way to go before it can be considered for any award,” said local film director Taonga Nkhonjera of Dikamawoko Arts.
A panel of judges will analyse the nominees to come up with winners which will be announced next month at an event to be held in Bayelsa State, Nigeria
