FILM PROJECT
African Crime • Action • Drama • Thriller
Working Title: DE MAFIA TRIBE
Format: Feature Film / Potential Film Franchise or Series
Genre:Crime • Action • Drama • Thriller
Setting:Nigeria
THE PROJECT
De Mafia Tribe is a gritty Nigerian crime drama built around power, loyalty, betrayal, family, ambition and survival inside a dangerous criminal underworld.
The story follows a powerful network of criminals whose relationships are tested as different forces compete for control, influence and survival. As alliances shift and enemies emerge from within and outside the organization, the characters are forced to make difficult choices between loyalty to their people and their own ambitions.
At the center of the story is a world where trust is expensive and betrayal can be fatal. Political influence, law enforcement, criminal organizations and personal rivalries become intertwined, creating a dangerous battle for power.
The project combines street-level Nigerian crime storytelling with action, suspense, family drama and political intrigue, creating a world that can connect with both Nigerian audiences and international viewers.
It was inspired day to day observation and inspiration.
WHAT MAKES THE PROJECT STAND OUT
De Mafia Tribe is designed as more than a conventional gangster story.
It explores:
- Loyalty and betrayal
- Family and criminal legacy
- Culture
- Power and political influence
- Street survival
- Internal conflict within criminal organizations
- Police and criminal power struggles
- Revenge and ambition
- The consequences of choosing power over loyalty
The story also has the potential to develop into a larger crime universe, allowing different characters, organizations and conflicts to be explored across future films or seasons.
INVESTMENT & STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
I am seeking an investor or investment partner to help develop and professionally produce the project.
Investment support would contribute toward:
Development & Pre-Production
Screenplay development, casting, locations, production planning, costumes and action choreography.
Film Production
Cast, crew, cinematography, locations, equipment, action sequences and production requirements.
Post-Production
Editing, sound design, original music, colour grading, visual effects and final delivery.
International Marketing & Distribution
We are also seeking a strategic partner who can help take the completed project beyond Nigeria through international marketing, distribution, sales and global audience development, including opportunities with streaming platforms and international distributors.
OUR VISION
The vision is to build De Mafia Tribe into a recognizable African crime property with the potential to grow beyond one production.
With the right financial and strategic partner, the project can develop into a multi-film or series franchise, creating opportunities for continued storytelling, audience growth and international distribution.
PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY
I am seeking:
Film Investors
Investment Partners
Production Companies International Distribution Partners
Marketing & Strategic Partners
I am looking for a partner who can help us not only finance and produce the project, but also take the finished production into the international market through global marketing, distribution and strategic partnerships.
Detailed screenplay materials, character profiles, story arcs and production plans will be shared privately with qualified and genuinely interested partners.
