lynx200: Hey for all the upcoming artistes out there especially those thinking of relocating to Asaba where a lot of home videos are being shot, I saw this article about the film scene in that city and thought u should all read http://thescriptfactory2012..com/2013/04/asaba-shame-of-nollywood.html?spref=fb. Here is an excerpt from the article by Reginald Ebere a respected and experienced writer and film director.
The second time, I went to shoot one of my movies. I‘d heard of good locations, cheap priced hotels and hardworking, professional crews, not like the indolent fat cats we have in Lagos. I wanted to take advantage of all that. What someone did not tell me however was that Asaba had also become home to semi-prostitutes, parading themselves as artistes and an accompanying band of young, very young pimps who ran production shifts and sold sex for pennies to immoral libidinous directors and producers. What I didn’t discover then was the whole truth.
So last week the idea of Asaba came up again and I put up a post on this blog that has elicited some very serious reactions. Suffice it to say that everybody seems to think that my going to Asaba to work is a very bad idea, major reason being that there is a massive stench of corruption coming from this pristine town. That oozing fermentation seems to be coming out of Nollywood. Before now I’d heard stories of directors and producers who would demand that female artistes buy them lap tops and i-pads before giving them roles. What’s bad in that you may ask, well nothing really but those female actors are also required to sleep with them for as long as the production lasted and finally they are also required to pay certain amounts of money to get roles. Sums as huge as twenty thousand Naira nay, even fifty thousand Naira. Now did I say finally? Forgive me because the list goes on. If these unfortunate female artistes are to be accommodated in the production camps, they are also required to pay as much as ten thousand Naira.

dolly dolly: Hy Lynxx, I appreciate ur effort 4 creating a page 4 d notifications. Its jst dat d locations ar mostly based in lagos but 4 us dat are based in Jos or Abuja we dnt get any notifications. Pls i wil appreciate it if u look into that. Once again, thanks 4 ur efforts so far.

lynx200:

Well most of the jobs I know take place in either Lagos, Asaba and Enugu. I hardly hear of jobs holding in Jos or Abuja. This is due to the network effect of having many producers in Lagos and Enugu.(I won't even recommend Asaba becos of the shenanigans going on there.) Even in the USA most movie jobs are in Los Angeles or New York. If in Jos I would advice you to hang around the national film institute where u could hook up with people who will have info concerning production jobs. Abuja is too expensive to shoot for many people so hardly anything goes on there. But if I hear of any audition in Jos or Abuja I will let u know.
