whenLoveHappensColumbus is set to be swept off its feet on April 5, 2025, when the highly anticipated Liberian movie, "When Love Happens," officially premieres. The film’s release has generated significant buzz, particularly as Columbus will host its maiden USA premiere.

“I’m excited about this new Liberian movie, especially because it’s coming to Columbus,” Freeman, a local film enthusiast, shared with this reporter. “It will be my first experience attending such an event since relocating here in 2016, so I can’t wait to be among the first to watch When Love Happens.”

Another movie lover, Darlene, expressed her admiration for the Liberian film industry and its recent progress. She highlighted her respect for the movie’s director, Korto Davis, a highly acclaimed female filmmaker. “Korto Davis has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that she has what it takes to lead in this industry,” Darlene said. “Her movies always make sense, and I’m confident When Love Happens will be no different.”

According to Emmanuel Paye, a renowned entertainment promoter and the main organizer of the Columbus premiere, preparations for the high-profile event are well underway. “We’re bringing this movie to the cinema to give it the grand welcome it deserves,” Paye said. “Columbus being chosen as the premiere’s first stop in the USA is a way of rewarding the city’s vibrant entertainment-loving community with an experience they’ve long awaited.” He also revealed that the movie’s cast will be in attendance, adding to the premiere’s excitement.

The event is scheduled to take place at Phoenix Lennox 24 Theatre, 777 Kinnear Rd, Columbus, OH 43224.

Shot on locations in the USA, When Love Happens features a stellar cast of seasoned and talented actors, including Sekou M. Sirleaf, Korto Davis, Menneh Smith, Thelma Y. Saye, Musa Sheriff, and Martina B. Toomey. The movie is a production of KKL-Mansa Studio and is directed by the award-winning Korto Davis.

With its blend of romance, culture, and storytelling, When Love Happens promises to deliver a memorable cinematic experience that will resonate with its audience and leave an indelible mark on the Liberian film industry.
