IF there was one wish for rapper, producer, and songwriter Sidney Esiri aka Dr. Sid, it would be for his late father and Nigerian film star, Justus Esiri to be alive.
In a recent chat with The Nation, Dr. Sid confessed that he wishes his father was alive to see his achievement as a filmmaker with the release of his debut feature film entitled The Order of Things (TOOT).
The music star, who recently ventured into filmmaking, said, “I just did something that is a great feat for me, something that my dad should have seen. I would have loved my dad to see it.”
Shedding light on his transition and contribution to the Nigerian film industry, the hitmaker said “I have moved from a lot of things, from dentistry to music, to owning my record label, to gaming and films, I’m constantly evolving as an individual, I think growth and change is the only constant thing. I just wanted to try and add my quota to Nollywood and see how I could get people to enjoy it as well.”
Dr. Sid’s directorial debut features Timini Egbuson, Binta Ayo Mogaji, Lateef Adedimeji, Demola Adedoyin, and Obi Maduegbuna. The romantic comedy, which Dr. Sid said is dedicated to the memory of his father, revolves around a nerd who must obey his mother’s wish to be married before his kid brother.
