In February 2019, Muffy and Trudi travelled to Kenya to attend the 1^st Africa Social & Behaviour Change Conference. Together with Ishaku Dashon and Umar Turaki (Watershed Entertainment – Nigeria) they presented a case study on writing, producing, marketing and broadcasting In Love and Ashes – an eight-part drama series that was broadcast in Nigeria in early 2018 on the national broadcaster, NTA, and Ebony Life.  The presentation was selected as 1 of 30 oral sessions held during the 3-day confab.

549 individuals from 80 organizations and 25 countries attended the conference in Nairobi which presented a platform for practitioners and stake holders to share knowledge and best practices on Social Behaviour Change from across the globe.

PIOTP’s latest TV drama, In Love And Ashes, celebrated its broadcast launch with a gala red carpet premiere event held in Lagos, Nigeria on March 28, 2018.  PIOTP’s Muffy Potter attended the event and was excited to be reunited with the fantastic Nigerian cast and crew.

“It was terrific to see the team interviewed by both entertainment and news journalists from across the country. Everyone worked so hard to make the series come to life and it’s always wonderful to celebrate the fruits of that labour,” said Muffy.

Hosting the event was 2Baba, one of Nigeria’s most beloved pop stars, who sang the incredible title sequence theme song for the series. Its release and exposure on FM stations across the country helped generate buzz about the series across multiple media platforms.  See the full video below.

The Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in close to 2,000,000 Nigerians being driven from their homes. Half of the internally displaced are children, with an estimated 20,000 currently separated from their families.

The Favoured Sisters Christian Foundation in Jos, headed by Naomi Mankilik, is home to 241 children who have been orphaned by the conflict in north-east Nigeria.

The orphanage was a primary filming location for the television drama series In Love & Ashes and Muffy and Trudi witnessed first-hand the incredible work that Naomi and her small team are doing to accommodate, feed and educate the children in their care.

Despite its great work, the Foundation receives no government funding and relies on private donations to continue its mission. PIOTP is committed to providing financial support to the orphanage and can vouch for the positive impact that any gifted money makes on the lives of these children.

Put It Out There Pictures is currently in the post-production phase of an 8-part drama serial funded by USAID/OTI for broadcast on Nigerian television, entitled In Love & Ashes.

Acting as Media Consultants for Creative Associates International, Muffy and Trudi recently spent five months in Nigeria working with local production company, Watershed Entertainment, to devise, script and produce the show. They also worked with a local agency to develop and implement an extensive, strategic social media campaign to promote the series and the themes of the show.

In Love & Ashes will air nationally across Nigeria in early 2018.
