Dan Schneider also made headlines a few years back after a ViacomCBS investigation against him. Though it did not find any evidence of s*xual misconduct, it did conclude that Schneider was verbally abusive on set. This led to him parting ways with Nickelodeon back in 2018. And now, with the docuseries opening all the hidden locks, Schneider’s ex-assistant has made her own stance in the whole debate public.

Baloji previously directed several short films including “Zombies” which played at the BFI London film festival. Blurring the lines between reality and the realm of dreams, “Omen” follows Kofi, who return to his birthplace after being ostracized by his family. The movie explores the weight of beliefs on one’s destiny through four characters accused of being witches and sorcerers, all of them intertwined and guiding each other into the phantasmagoria of Africa.

The film stars Marc Zinga Lucie Debay (“Our Men”) and Eliane Umuhire (“Birds Are Singing in Kigali”).
