Production and release

For Maria Ebun Pataki was the debut feature film of Damilola Orimogunje.

It was shot for a period of 9 days in November 2019 in Ojodu, Lagos. Meg Otanwa revealed via an Instagram post that she intentionally gained weight for her role in the film in order to portray a realistic post-birth body. The film premiered in November 2020 at Film Africa where it won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature. It started streaming on Netflix on 16 January 2022.

The writers make the story connect with the audience by creating a world full of characters that are real and tangible".
