Reality TV star and actor Saga Adeoluwa, popularly known as Saga Deola, has announced that his movie Falling Notes has been selected for the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival (TINFF) in Canada.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate shared the news on Instagram on Friday alongside the movie’s poster.

“Official selection for TINFF! 🇨🇦 My first production!!! My baby project, my dream, the idea in my head is going to Canada! 🇨🇦 😭 The level of challenges faced during pre production, while filming, even more during post production, the premiere, the release and afterwards! I maybe should do a podcast to tell yall about it,” he wrote.

Saga also spoke about the difficulties he faced while producing the project, saying many people doubted the decision to make what he described as a cinema level production for YouTube.

“When I said I was doing a cinema level project for YouTube, people thought I was crazy, when they heard the huge budget, they thought I was unwise, when I said I was doing a full scale premiere, they thought it wasn’t worth it,” he added.

The actor thanked members of his production team and hinted that more projects are already in the works.

Falling Notes premiered in Lagos in October 2025 and was later released on YouTube through Saga Adeolu TV.

The romantic drama follows the story of a young musician dealing with fame, relationships and self discovery. The film stars Saga alongside Eso Dike, Sophia Chisom, Inem King, Osereme Inegbenebor and Folarin Agunbiade.

Founded in 2016, the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival is an annual event that showcases films from Canada and other countries.
