In 2023, Abudu and Elba’s production businesses, EbonyLife Media and Green Door Pictures, formed a co-production partnership that resulted in Dust To Dreams, their first noteworthy production.
The film’s creator, Abudu, will serve as both executive producer and producer, with Heidi Uys as supervising producer. Other co-producers on the project are Temidayo Makanjuola, Inem King, and Vanessa Demme.
