Collins Archie-Pearce has a massive fan and a proven track
record of doing things “bigger and better” each time. Few months ago, he was in
Sierra Leone, Freetown to shoot blockbuster film titled The British
Expert.
He was received with a rosy welcome by hundreds of entertainers right from Lungi International Airport; the fans printed hundreds of T-shirts with his picture in the front and a welcome note at the back and they also hired buses to rally the streets of Freetown with the Sierra Leonean icon and legend who has lifted the name of his country and put it on the world map in terms of film production and promotion.
It was a funfair affair as everyone gathered at the National
Stadium car park where Collins addressed the congregation, encouraging them to
keep up the good work.
In conclusion, Collins Archie-Pearce is planning to shoot
another movie in summer in the United Kingdom which will include actors from at
least 10 different countries. He also intends to premiere two of his recent
films in London and other countries.
Enjoy the rest of his action and fun pictures...
