Rita Dominic leads the pack for The Meeting

Rita Dominic, actress and co-producer of the new movie entitled, The Meeting, and other cast members comprising, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Femi Jacobs and Linda Ejiofor have embarked on a promotional tour of select Nigerian cities to celebrate the romantic comedy with the larger public, as well as heighten the excitement generated by its recent theatrical release.
The team is also leveraging on the pervasiveness of the social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube to increase awareness and drum up support for the movie.
The promotional campaign is coming on the heels of the premiere of The Meeting which was held on October 19, 2012 at the banquet hall of the Oriental Hotel, Lekki Lagos.

The Meeting is from the stable of The Audrey Silva Company, one of Nigeria’s foremost film and television production outfits. According to Rita Dominic, lead actress and co-producer of the movie, “the tour gives us an opportunity to meet cinema audiences nationwide and get to know them better. We do no not want a disconnect between our company and the people we make movies for.”
Speaking further, Dominic said the team was in Abuja last week and met with many movie buffs in addition to visiting radio stations where they fielded questions from on-air personalities. She disclosed that the campaign train would be visiting the Garden City of Port Harcourt in the coming week.
The Meeting is a reflective comedy that showcases a different and dynamic Rita Dominic and Jide Kosoko in lead roles.  The movie features appearances by Kate Henshaw-Nuttal, Basorge Tariah, Nse Ikpe-Etim and Chinedu Ikedieze and also introduces upcoming stars like Femi Jacob and Linda Ejiofor.
Set in Abuja, Nigeria the movie chronicles the trials of a Lagos-based corporate executive, Makinde Esho (Femi Jacobs) who finds himself at the mercy of political patronage, bureaucratic red tape and Cupid’s arrow while on a hot pursuit of a ‘meeting’ to secure a contract from a government ministry.
Directed by Mildred Okwo, The Meeting addresses an array of contemporary issues the audience are sure to identify with, ranging from love through African time, to tackling officials and maneuvering red tape.
