 No stranger to screens and definitely not a newcomer to the AMVCAs, Ramsey Noah’s bio is as long as the Nigerian film industry’s history. One that if we begin to write about, a few words wouldn’t be enough to describe his impeccable brilliance not just as an actor but also as a director. 

Snagging two nominations in the ‘Best Overall Movie’ and ‘Best Director (Movie)’ categories at the 2022 AMVCA awards, with his notable remake of “Rattlesnake,” Ramsey describes the feeling as “really good,”

“All that effort and sacrifice for making that film was all worth it, and AMVCA made sure of that.” 

Reflecting on his previous win as Best Director for “Living In Bondage” in 2020, he tells us a little secret; he was really nervous about winning. 

“I was feeling a little jittery,” he admits, and while he couldn’t make it due to a production schedule at the time, he was ‘clutching the edge’ of his seat, looking over and over at the nominees and wondering,” how to go about it.”

You know the shivers that run down your spine when cold water is poured on you? Well, that’s exactly how winning felt for him. 

“It’s more like when they pour you cold water, and you breathe out like ‘aah!’ cause the tension was pretty high.”

Recognising that winning was not a one-person job, his team also played a huge role in contributing to the success of “Living In Bondage”, “without them, I don’t think Living In Bondage would have been that much of a great success.”

He also admits that many people advised him to forget about remaking the classic film, “no go spoil am for us.”

Watching both films, viewers would undoubtedly notice the great attention to detail included in them. For one, the message behind the films were not lost, and in some way, they managed to act as a continuation of their originals while also maintaining their individuality. 

This was not by chance but rather a conscious effort by Ramsey and his team to maintain the elements of each body of work they produce. 

He says, “I strongly believe in details, but all the extra effort, not just the shebang that you see.”

For new filmmakers, he leaves his final words as “put the extra effort in details, I think with that we can make a breakthrough.”

Amstel Malta Is The AMVCA

Since the first edition of the AMVCAs in 2013, the premium low-sugar malt brand, Amstel Malta, has thrown its weight behind supporting this continental recognition of African excellence. And they have continued doing what they know best by once again sponsoring the week-long 8th edition of the AMVCA, which will round off celebrations today. 

For many years, Amstel Malta has been a staunch supporter of building creativity not just within Nigeria but Africa as a whole, and the AMVCAs is only one of their many successful projects geared towards building the African entertainment industry. 

This year, they have evolved the award show from being only a celebration of film and TV to a global celebration of African fashion, music, food and creativity. 

It’s a wrap

Today marks the end of what has been the first-of-its-kind continental celebration of the African creative sector. 

As we prepare to watch our stars take home their awards, we should keep in mind that every nominee deserves to be recognised for their brilliant projects, whether or not they take the plaque home. 

Not forgetting the red carpet, where stars and guests would showcase their glamorous outfits in a toast to the brilliance of African fashion designers. 

If you want some hints on who goes home with what, we’re just as curious as you are, and we can all find out together by watching the live stream of the 2022 AMVCAs today on Africa Magic channel 154 on DSTV and GOtv channel 2 from 4 pm WAT. 

The eighth edition of the Africa magic Viewers’ Choice Award is brought to viewers by Africa Magic in association with Multichoice and proudly sponsored by Amstel Malta.
