Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has expressed excitement after her movie, Oversabi Aunty, attracted a large audience during an outdoor screening in Germany.
The actress shared her excitement with fans after posting a video capturing the impressive turnout at the event, where the movie was screened on a massive outdoor screen.
In the footage shared on her Instagram page, a large crowd could be seen gathered to watch the Nigerian production, highlighting the growing reach of Abraham’s work beyond Nigeria.
Celebrating the moment, Abraham described the screening as a memorable experience and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to see her movie embraced by an international audience.
“From Nigeria to Germany. Watching OverSabi Aunty celebrated on a massive open-air screen with this incredible crowd is a moment I’ll never forget,” she wrote.
The filmmaker also attributed the achievement to God while appreciating the German audience for showing love and support for the movie.
“God did it! Thank you, Germany, for the love. The journey continues…” she added.
The post quickly attracted congratulatory messages from fans, colleagues and other supporters of the actress, with many celebrating the international reception of her work.
For Abraham, the German screening represents another opportunity to showcase Nigerian storytelling to audiences outside the country. The presence of a large crowd at the open-air event also provided a visual indication of the interest generated by the movie among viewers in Germany.
The actress has continued to build a reputation as one of the prominent figures in Nigeria’s film industry, combining acting with filmmaking and producing projects for local and international audiences.
The reception of Oversabi Aunty in Germany adds to the growing international exposure of Nigerian movies, as Nollywood productions continue to find audiences across different countries.
The outdoor format of the screening also gave the event a celebratory atmosphere, with viewers gathering together to watch the film on a giant screen.
Abraham’s decision to share footage from the event allowed her followers in Nigeria and elsewhere to see the response firsthand.
The actress has not disclosed further details about the event, including the number of people who attended or the organisers behind the screening. However, the crowd shown in the video appeared substantial enough to leave a strong impression on the filmmaker.
The moment also comes as Nigerian filmmakers increasingly seek to take their productions to audiences in the diaspora through cinema screenings, festivals, community events and other forms of international distribution.
For Abraham, seeing Oversabi Aunty celebrated thousands of kilometres away from Nigeria appeared to be particularly meaningful.
Her message reflected both appreciation and excitement as she celebrated the journey of the movie from its home country to an international audience.
The filmmaker ended her message on an optimistic note, suggesting that the German screening is part of a larger journey for the movie and her career.
With the international audience showing interest in the production, Abraham’s latest update has further highlighted the ability of Nollywood films to connect with viewers beyond Nigeria and introduce local stories, humour and culture to global audiences.
The actress continues to celebrate the milestone while expressing gratitude to everyone who has supported Oversabi Aunty and contributed to its growing visibility.
