Directing duties for “A Ghetto Love Story” fall on Daniel Oriahi, known for his ability to create compelling storylines. His film “The Weekend” premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York in June 2024.

 

This new project marks a significant moment in Basketmouth’s career as he ventures behind the camera, showcasing his storytelling abilities and holding the potential to deliver an entertaining and thought-provoking film experience.
