As a Bachelor of Arts (B.A), Cinematography and Film / Video Production holder from The Art Institute of New York City. How would you rate the impact of school and professional training to the Nollywood industry?

School gives you the knowledge and hands on training but Nollywood industry advance my knowledge skills and talents. Nollywood is the second largest cinema market in the world and brings the success to African actors and enlightened the Nigerian culture.

 

What’s the project on ground? Let’s know what you are working on?

Project on the ground is 2 great movies with good story lines “Deja Vu” and “The Devil’s Orchard” as directed by Saheed Apanpa. He’s gifted and very talented. He’s a great director to work with.

 

Why your choice of cast and crew?

Our choice of cast is the right fit for this project and could deliver the characters that we are looking for. We always want to bring something different to Nollywood so our viewers/ audience/ Nollywood fans could relate to the movie.

 

Why did you pick this particular script? What’s the value of the story?

Storyline is great and people could related to this movie. It’s the best way to pass a message through movies and good script. Things we face everyday in life and our past experiences. We are currently on pre production. Because of the lockdown we may not be able to determine the release dates now.

 

What’s unique about the coming project and what’s your projection on the release dates?

Well. We are projecting to shoot the project back to back. We looking to kick off first week March as preproduction is going on presently for both projects. The shoot will take us about 6-7 days each. So right after we entering post production. People who know me, know I like to plan well as to deliver a good gig. We will b keeping you abreast as the production unfolds.

 

 

What are those basic things you think the Government can do for Nollywood?

It’s one industry that has helped the nation solve unemployment for a long time now.

Government and minister of culture could fight for author rights and vote good laws that benefits the actors because Nollywood makes the world see Africa different and enriches the culture.
If producers and actors could make enough good money and they could create jobs or small businesses.
