Christopher Vourlias Nigerian Afrobeat megastar Burna Boy and fast-rising South African filmmaker Mandla Dube are among the names headlining the new slate from Black Mic Mac, the production banner championing African and Middle Eastern talent that was launched last year by production and sales vet Pape Boye and Logical Pictures.

The line-up includes close to a dozen films and television series from both emerging and established talents that showcase the range of dynamic voices the region has to offer. “I’m so proud to work with so many different filmmakers all over the continent, and to continue to try to discover talent who want to entertain the world,” said Boye.

Leading off the company’s roster, the chart-topping sensation Burna Boy has been tapped to executive produce “Three Cold Dishes,” a thriller from director Asurf Oluseyi about three teenagers who were sold into the sex trade who reunite 13 years later to plot their revenge.

The film is produced by Ifind, Alma Prods., Asurf Films and Martian Network and co-produced by Black Mic Mac. Burna Boy is executive producing through Spaceship Films, the company he co-founded with Bose Ogulu. “This film is a testament to the strength and resilience of its characters, and it took us blood and sweat to get it to this stage,” said Oluseyi, describing “Dishes” as “the biggest pan-African film yet” and “an African cinematic journey like no other.” Meanwhile, “Silverton Siege” director Dube, who has a multi-title pact with Netflix, is currently developing the occult crime-thriller limited series “The Devil Inside,” which tells the story of a detective struggling to solve a series of murders and child abductions in a small town.
