Renowned Nigerian storyteller and creative powerhouse, Opeyemi Akintunde, has once again made waves in the faith-based film industry as her latest film, SOLD, clinched the Viewers’ Choice Award for Movie of the Year at the prestigious Kingdom Film Festival (KFF) 2025.

The gripping and emotionally charged film emerged winner in a highly competitive category that featured other top contenders such as Under Siege, Olukoya, Anointed but Arrested, Black Collar, and Finding Me.

“We’re overwhelmed by the love and support,” said Akintunde in her post-win remarks. “This award belongs to every supporter & viewer who saw a piece of themselves in SOLD. Our goal was simple: to tell the truth…wrapped in love, art, and grace. To God be all the glory!”
