PHOTOS FROM THE PREMIERE OF 'KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR'!

The premiere of ‘Knocking On Heaven’s Door’ took place yesterday April 18th at the Silverbird Galleria and it was a blast! The glitteratti came out to support the movie which critics have been raving is one of the best movies to be produced by Emem Isong so far. Also producing was Ini Edo-Ehiagwina who starred in the movie as well as fellow actors Majid Michel, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Adesuwa Etomi and many more. Directing was by Desmond Elliot, who has proven critics & naysayers wrong by refusing to listen to their ramblings and just concentrate on getting better & better. The movie was executive produced by Achievas Entertainment and continues to screen in cinemas nationwide. Check out some red carpet photos. Photos by Sola of Debbin Photos.
