The enigmatic founder and project director of AFRIFF is an ardent film lover. An avid film watcher and commentator, her passion for movies grew more intense after her entrance into the Nigerian Movie Industry through her involvement in the production of the 2007 Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) UK Roadshow,
The ensuing relationship culminated Chioma producing the 2008 AMA Awards and the institution of a brainchild of hers called the AMA Charity Benefit. This novel initiative was designed to be an annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project aimed at creating a vehicle for industry practitioners and stakeholders to give back to society. Care for Sickle Cell Anemia sufferers was the highlight in 2008, and in 2009. Also in 2009, Chioma was the local producer of the ION International Film Festival (IONIFF), held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State in Nigeria. IONIFF is a global touring festival originating from Hollywood, whose objective is the promotion of global awareness and peace through arts, culture and films.
