However, the Angolan has done much more than act. Gilmário Vemba was part of the idealization, production and direction of the film.
In an interview with Platinaline, the comedian said he was anxious to know how the audience will react to the feature film and that he was very pleased to know how the backstage of film productions work: "I was involved in many things (...). We've been working on recording, production and sound engineering for about a year. It was very good to be directly connected to all those elements that comprise the film, to know how things work internally, because this is a partnership between Gilmário Vemba and Black Walk. So, I'm quite expectant to know what people will think of this film".
As for the film's message, the comedian said they want to "encourage people to realise that we also produce national cinema, films that identify with our culture, with our people and that speak Portuguese about Angola, so that people can feel represented. Everyone who goes to see the film can see themselves in a character".
"A Dívida" talks about everyday life in Luanda. The film was filmed in Angola and will feature, besides Gilmário Vemba, Neide Van-Dúnem, Serafina Sanches, Sany Cláudia, Carlos Alves and Valdano Lukizaia.
