According to Ihidero, the 26-part series was produced to
share an average Nigerian daily struggle.
Man Pikin premieres on ROK on the 12th of December, 2021.
Chris Ihidero is one of the most respected TV writers and
producers on the continent, and owner of PinPoint Media, a Nigerian film and
media company working to industrialize content creation and distribution in
Africa.
Man Pikin is the story of a man’s daily struggles with
raising his kids after his wife’s passing.
“This is one of many to come. In September 2019 we cranked
on the content machinery we had been working on for a year and hit the set to
deliver the first product off our production line, season one of Man Pikin, a
family comedy series, “Ihidero says.
“Man Pikin is my nod to Fuji House of Commotion, Nigeria’s
longest-running and highly popular family comedy series I was privileged to
direct for five years.”
The first season of Man Pikin features an impressive cast
list, including Uche Odoputa, Olakunle Abounce Fawole, Ogechi Aniegboka, and
Nonso Ibiakwuma, as well as Amanda Iriekpen and King David Akpakwu.
Crew credits include Grace Babasola, Chiemeka Osuagwu, Taiwo
Adeleye, Wole Ajetomobi, Halima Bakenne and Chike Egwuaka. Ihidero is the
executive producer and lead director.
Nollywood continues to grow remarkably, with data from The
Guardian saying the industry contributed 0.27% to the GDP of Nigeria, in the
first quarter of 2019.
Last year alone, over N6 Billion revenue was recorded,
according to technext.
Ihidero further said PinPoint is on a mission to help the
industry create a system that scales without compromising on quality and
compensation.
“It’s what Hollywood was built on, and we are excited about
the opportunity to join all other visionaries around the continent in
transforming the film industry here…”
