The Challenge
Launch an independent Zambian feature under the new Owas Films banner — domestic drama with theatrical key art and a full billing block.
Creative Direction
Owas Ray Mwape directed and executive-produced while also appearing on screen. Key art places a hard-hat central figure against a city skyline with three women — a domestic triangle under urban pressure.
Production Process
Independent feature: Owas Films / Old Age Productions in conjunction with Maynarj Films. No official trailer is wired on this site. A YouTube upload titled “Wife from above” exists in public search results but is a different title and must not be confused with The Wife without verification.
Behind the Scenes
Official poster is the primary cleared still in the ORAM vault. Unit photography not yet on the public gallery.
