This Sale Litres


PETER (Harry Dorgu) dreams of a better life. He dreams of having enough money to marry, GLORIA, his long time university sweet heart. However, Gloria’s older sister, ALERO would rather die than see her younger sister marry a poor petrol attendant. 

When OGA, the station manager, is summoned to head office over some fradulent accounting, Peter (helped by his friends, Bassey and London John) stumbles upon a wicked plot to marry Gloria off to a very wealthy old businessman

In his debut movie role, Big Brother's Gideon Okeke plays Peter’s best friend, LONDON JOHN, the charming womaniser, on the verge of renewing his visa and travelling back to his London. But not before he reveals his big secret... and not before Peter, Alero and the chief have their showdown. 

Bassey (Jude Chukwuka) is a happy-go-lucky father of three. And through his eyes, we take a peek at a day in the lives of the colourful character that routinely patronize the petrol station.

Chinedu Amah is the comical OFFICER OLOPADE, a pot bellied, singlet and slippers wearing police officer, who lives by the 'man must chop‘ school of policing.

Nollywood’s own, Imbrahim Musa plays the wisecracking pure water seller, BUSINESS BOY. A sharp nine year old kid with an eye for a profit.


In a role Dakore Ogbuson was originally cast to play, Funmi Eko puts in an oscar-like performance as the manipulative and feisty, station mart check out girl, Alero.

Hip Hop veteran, Elajoe, is SCARFACE the leader of a gang of fueding area boy, stuck in a black maria which has run out of fuel.

The Big Empty



The Big Empty is a 2003 science-fiction film directed and written by Steve Anderson. It stars Jon Favreau as a struggling actor with a bizarre request from his neighbor to deliver a suitcase that he cannot open. While there, he meets an unusual cast of characters, and starts to think this delivery might be more than it seems.

Would be-Hollywood actor John Person always considered his bizarre neighbor Neely a conspiracy theory nut-case. Still he accepts a simple task to wipe out his over $27,000 debt: delivering a blue suitcase to some Cowboy at Baker, in the empty desert. The place proves a nest of weirdos, including extremely jealous Randy and his girl Ruthie, who seduces John. He learns Neely was murdered, and FBI agent Banks grills him as prime suspect. Yet the weirdest is still to come once Cowboy turns up.
