This December, she is set to continue that streak with a new film, Behind The Scenes, announced on her birthday through her production company, the Funke Akindele Network (FAAN). 

The upcoming release features a cast that includes Tobi Bakare, Scarlet Gomez, Ini Dima-Okojie, Iyabo Ojo, Destiny Etiko, Uzor Arukwe, Uche Montana, and reality TV personalities Handi and Wanni from Big Brother Naija.

Akindele’s attachment to December is not accidental. Over the years, she has made the festive season synonymous with her brand of filmmaking: ensemble-driven stories that combine humour, family conflict, and cultural familiarity.
