Nigerian-American independent filmmaker Fum Fum Ko recently shared the trailer for her short film Guess Who's Coming To Dinner: Naija Edition, a modernized and diaspora-injected flip on the 1967 classic that starred Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, and Sidney Poitier. As the diretor explains, the film follows Ade, a "young Nigerian-American woman with a great career, good friends, and loving family... as she vacillates between introducing her new love to her family or keeping her new relationship a secret. [The] dark comedy explores the complexities of love and its relationship between modern and traditional respectability." The short, which takes place over the course of a Thanksgiving dinner in Houston, Texas, is currently submitting to festivals.
