Funke Akindele Drops the Official Trailer for Behind The Scenes, Opening Nationwide December 12

Funke Akindele has unveiled the official trailer for Behind The Scenes, her new drama that digs into the emotions people hide behind polished smiles. The film asks a simple question: what really happens when no one is watching? The trailer hints at a story shaped by pressure, truth, and the quiet battles many carry without ever speaking about them.

Akindele leads the cast and also sits in the director’s and producer’s chair, working alongside co-director Tunde Olaoye. She’s joined by a strong ensemble that includes Uzor Arukwe, Ibrahim Chatta, Iyabo Ojo, Scarlet Gomez, Dele Odule, Tobi Bakre, Destiny Etiko, and other amazing actors. [See full cast list HERE]

Behind The Scenes speaks to anyone who has ever pushed through pain, kept going while carrying something heavy, or held tight to the parts of themselves the world never sees. It’s a film about healing, honesty, and the quiet truths that shape us.

The movie opens in cinemas nationwide on December 12. For those in the UK, the London premiere will take place on December 4 at 8PM at Odeon Greenwich. Tickets are available on the Odeon website.

Behind The Scenes is a Funke Akindele film, distributed by FilmOne Entertainment.
