Nigerian Senator Ben Murray-Bruce Vacates Senate Seat; Expands Silverbird Group Film Ventures

LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Nigerian business magnate and politician, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, announced the expansion of Silverbird Group ventures in association with Los Angeles-based production house Dream Magic Studios. With his June 6 departure from the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Murray-Bruce returns to his roots in entertainment, greenlighting several film productions. The first film slated is Nigerian-based comedy, DNA, with an anticipated worldwide 2019 holiday release.

DNA follows the stories of several Nigerian men seeking to immigrate their families to the United States by applying through the US Embassy. The path takes a laughable, yet dramatic turn for the hopefuls, when the outcomes of their required paternity tests isn't what they expected.

"As Silverbird Group continues to deliver opportunities for cultural and economic development in Nigeria, we are committed to bringing to life the stories of African people on film throughout the world," explained Murray-Bruce.

Murray-Bruce assembled a dream team to bridge the gap between the burgeoning entertainment culture of the African Diaspora and Hollywood entertainment. Taking the helm of the upcoming productions, is veteran Hollywood executive, Davina Douthard. She will oversee production, acquisitions, marketing and distribution. Creative direction will be led by Jesse Combs and Jonathan Murray-Bruce will oversee studio operations.

Dream Magic Studios is equipped to accommodate an expansive range of production needs. For more information on luxurious sound stage rentals, production services and event space, contact [email protected] or 818.280.5905
