British-Nigerian Actress, Susan Wokoma Is Writing Her First Feature Film

Susan Wokoma is building an incredible filmography, completely stealing the show on two critically acclaimed TV shows, Chewing Gum and Crazyhead. Well, she isn’t stopping there, as she is now set to write and star in her very first feature film, Three Weeks.

Three Weeks is a rom-com that follows a woman (Wokoma) who is dumped by her boyfriend. She rebounds into a new relationship only to find she is pregnant by her ex. She decides on an abortion and, in the three-week wait for the procedure, has to figure out her life and identity.

Wokoma is clear about her goal for writing:

“My agenda for writing is so clear now—I’m putting black women at the centre of everything.”

There is no set release date yet for Three Weeks.

And now it’s official. I’m writing my feature film debut ‘Three Weeks’ – a romantic-comedy-drama about abortion. Backed by @_eva_yates at @BBCFilms & by produced by @julianottingham #youknowme @Variety https://t.co/TxWtp22YKx
