Writer and Producer Kemiyondo Coutinho has been announced as the Executive Producer for the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios film 'Sisters in Italy,' a project she co-wrote alongside American actress Tika Sumpter (A Madea Christmas). The film will be directed by renowned mega-producer Tyler Perry.
This collaboration marks another chapter in the partnership between Coutinho and Sumpter. In 2021, Sumpter served as co-producer for Coutinho's project Satisfaction,' which featured performances by Patriq Nkakalukanyi and Shari Mwanika here in Kampala.
In 'Sisters in Italy,' the story centers around two estranged sisters who, after the passing of their mother, are summoned to Italy. They discover that their mother owned a charming bed and breakfast nestled in the picturesque Italian countryside. As they navigate their inheritance, the sisters face a series of posthumous tasks from their mother, designed to help them preserve their bond and embrace life to its fullest.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Whoopi Goldberg from Nobody's Fool and Ernie Hudson of Ghostbusters fame. 'Sisters in Italy' will also mark Tyler Perry's final project under a four-picture deal with Amazon MGM Studios, which was announced back in 2022. The film is currently in production, promising a delightful mix of comedy and heartfelt moments.
Congratulations Kemiyondo, well deserved 👏👏👏
