Nancy Isime is currently in Norway shooting an international feature film called The Department of Applied Chemistry. It’s a working title though, and also features Zimbabwean-born American actor Michael Maponga (Finding Mother, The Symphony of Silence). The movie set has Isime moving from location to location in Oslo, Nordstrand, Tøyen and Bergen. It’s been gathered that Isime will play a lead role in the Norwegian movie and according to cast member Jannike Grut, the cast ensemble is a mash-up of actors from the U.S., Russia, Ukraine, Argentina, Spain, Norway, Sweden and Germany.
We don’t know much about the plot details, but Grut has revealed that the movie is based on true events and deals with the abuse of people longing for a better life outside their native country. Written by Kingsley Emmanuel, The Department of Applied Chemistry is produced by Norwegian filmmaker Bjørn Bratli, known for works like The Middle (2015) and short film and Next II Mine (2017), and directed by Sam Mason-Bell. Isime just wrapped shooting with Chimney Love’s latest project Hire a Woman. This year, Isime has starred in Disguise, Johnny Just Come, and the Imoh Umoren heist thriller Club. She was also seen on a movie set in Calabar for Austin Nnaemeka’s movie Omambala.
