Renowned for producing 2023's biggest hits like "A Weekend To Forget," "Big Love," and other captivating stories that resonate with diverse audiences, Inkblot Productions aims to captivate viewers once again with "Japa!" The film, written by Chinaza Onuzo, Tamara Aihie, and Isioma Osaje—who also directed—features a stellar cast of seasoned actors, including Adesua Etomi-Wellington, Jidekene Achufusi, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Seun Ajayi, Mofe Duncan, Layi Wasabi, The Igbo Wolf, and more.

The film delves into the complexities of life's challenges and the relentless pursuit of success.

Isioma Osaje, who is making her directorial debut with ‘Japa!’ said: “I want to make films that feel true to the Nigerian experience, and nothing feels truer right now than Japa!” Our film is a fun and funny take on the ‘informal Nigerian dream’. 

“Japa!! explores the Nigerian spirit, our desire for more, our ability to adapt to any situation, and the innate pride every Nigerian feels when they overcome an obstacle—honestly, making Japa! was such a gift because we all felt connected to this story and the characters. I’m excited about sharing Japa! with Nigerians and the rest of the world because it will surprise and delight audiences in the most amazing ways.” Osaje added. 

Furthermore, Isioma excitedly shared a post with the movie clip on X saying:
