An emotional holiday story exploring self-acceptance and unconditional love on Christmas Eve
OGWA Studios has announced its upcoming holiday short film, A Rainbow for Christmas, starring Prosper Light and Raphael Niyi in the lead roles. The emotionally charged drama delves into themes of identity, family, and courage, capturing the true essence of self-acceptance during the most reflective time of the year — Christmas Eve.
Written and directed under OGWA Studios, A Rainbow for Christmas follows Ezra (played by Prosper Light), a young man who gathers the courage to come out to his family on Christmas Eve. What begins as a night of festivities and warmth soon turns into an intimate exploration of truth, fear, and love. Raphael Niyi joins the ensemble, bringing depth and authenticity to a story that reflects both personal and universal struggles for acceptance.
“This film is very close to my heart,” says Prosper Light, who also serves as the creative producer under OGWA Studios. “It’s about finding light in the most vulnerable moments — where fear meets freedom, and love becomes the greatest gift of all.”
Shot in a single day, A Rainbow for Christmas is a five-minute short that combines cinematic intimacy with raw emotion. The film captures the magic of the holiday season while addressing conversations often left unspoken in African homes.
“Our goal with this project is to celebrate courage — the courage to live truthfully and to love unconditionally,” says the OGWA Studios team. “We believe stories like this can heal, connect, and inspire others to embrace authenticity.”
The film is set for premiere on December 12, 2025 and forms part of OGWA Studios’ growing slate of powerful, socially resonant films. The studio, known for its motto “Authentic stories, boldly told,” continues to champion narratives that spotlight diversity, human emotion, and representation.
Following the acclaimed release of The Sun’s Glory and other awareness-driven films, A Rainbow for Christmas marks another bold step in OGWA Studios’ mission to amplify voices that challenge stereotypes and redefine African storytelling.
