Kester Nsirim’s “Koko:The Box TV” Gets AMAA Nomination for Best Comedy

A box TV became the center of  controversy in a small community in Woji, Port Harcourt. Koko had purchased it for his wife’s bar to attract customers who want to drink while watching the next football match. Little did Koko know that TV had mysteries that would almost take his life.

That is a glimpse of the storyline of the movie written and directed by Kester Nsirim. Nsirim has written, directed and produced for television and new media. Nsirim started his film career with short films and has made a total of seven shorts between 2006 and 2011 of which includes BONNIE, THE INQUEST and DESTINATION RIVERS. IMPACT FILE and THE LEGEND OF RIVER ETHIOPE are Nsirim’s prominent documentary titles. After a fine tutelage and amazing encounter with Hollywood filmmaker, Julie Dash and actor/director Giancarlo Esposito, Kester Nsirim made the leap at his first full length feature with the 2012 movie THE LOST NUMBER which premiered at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles and became a triple award winner at the WMIFF in Washington DC. Nsirim continued his journey with another film, THE AGGREGATOR, and other efforts in the world of tourism and music videos.
