Fast rising actor, Jammal Ibrahim (Delivery Boy) is set to release his directorial debut, a short film titled 'Pause'.

Shot in Senegal by Mamoune, the movie focuses on an abstract representation of the disruptive nature of the coronavirus pandemic using the story of a man's selfish ways as it relates to nature and time. It stars Ibrahim, popular on-air personality, Wana Udobang and Barthelemy Ndane Senghor. In supporting roles are Kewe Lo, Cedric Alfred Dossou and Didier Badji.

According to the first-time director, 'Pause' was inspired by the frustration of his four-month stay in Dakar, Senegal due to the pandemic. "A trip which was meant to last only a few days but is still ongoing with no current foreseeable end date. Each passing day sees me hankering for feedback from the Nigerian Aviation sector", said Ibrahim in a brief chat with Pulse Nigeria.

An official release date for 'Pause' is yet to be announced.
