O-Town is a Nigerian crime gangster film written and directed by C.J. Obasi.[2] The film stars Paul Utomi as Peace, a hustler at the center of various issues in the small town of Owerri, also known as O-Town.[3][4] The film's music was composed by Beatoven and Wache Pollen and filming took place in Owerri.[2][5]
Of the film, Obasi has described as a "crime-gangster thriller. It’s a semi-autobiographical tale because it draws from some of the crime stories I knew and heard; growing up in a small town called Owerri in Imo State. It’s also my exploration into genre Film-making, where I explore basically my love for film."[5]
