The Nigerian film producer Bolanle Austen-Peters recently unveiled her film town in Epe, Lagos state.
The director disclosed that the 10,000-acre BAP Film Village served as the shooting location for her most recent film, House of GA’A, in a recent post on X.
Additionally, Austen-Peters declared that the film town is available for business uses, such as recreation and film projects.
“So many have asked where we shot House of GA’A. This is it! BAP Productions Film Village in Epe. Over 10,000 acres of land, rolling hills, huts, and other facilities. Open for biz to film makers and excursions,” she said.
“This what we started with, greenery, dense forestation, when we went the first time. Everything was just this large expanse of land and then I called Bisola. I wanted to give woman a chance. She had never done anything like this before. But I saw the fire in her eyes.
“She moved in, cleared the place, and started construction. Before we knew it, in a couple of months, we have all the buildings that you see now in place. And this is where took all these beautiful shots that you see in the movie. This is the BAP film village.”
