"Hello!!!its not do or die to be on the silver screen,but i think that's the case in Nigeria,"Christ" everybody wanna be acting !! what's up with that,it's crazed.

The excuse is that our movie industry is still growing,I don't believe that we just have a bunch of untalented set of individuals running around as writers and acts wanna Be's!!!

Please let's start writing more meaningfully!!!!

@mufkina, if you can't wait for nollywood to develop, there's no better time than now to pack your loads and come audition in hollywood. There are so many casting calls going on now so don't wait. I don't know any other way i can put it but the last time i checked, movies with storylines about africa was the biggest thing on the block right now. SOoooo, you don't have to worry abt accent.

that doesn't change any thing,if politicians want to use movies to futher their views,ok but Box office gats "Ghost Rider" thats not been close to any thing African,

We just ahve to accept the fact that too many people are taking this whole thing for a joke,this is serious business not kids play,i watched a Nija movie the other,I was asking my self how the hell the that come through!!

Well just airing my opinion thats all!! d choice is ours!!

are u a movie producer or writer.hola bk

CREATIVITY, Spells a very good movie but now, I'm tired of d movies because d story lines are always d same.

i agree that our screenwriters should be more creative. However there is a limit to how creative they can get, if they have to be realistic. Nollywood is known as an ultra low budget industry. With low budgets producers have to shoot movies, they become overtly concerned when your script involves a large cast, outlandish settings and special effects, use of multi-exterior locations, just to mention a few. Also storylines are also limited to the possibility of really shooting in strategic facilities, which in some cases, may not secure approval of the relevant authorities. So in my opinion, so many factors affect a screenwriter's creativity. For the few producers who go ahead to produce such film scripts, they make a caricature movie of the original screenplay's intention. That's why many Nollywood movies revolve around the "home" and family unit. You rarely see movies about the Nigerian Navy, oil companies and otheer multinationals, the Police Headquarters, just to mention a few.

I want to make it clear here in this thread that 9ja Screenwriter are good and they are writing something creative.How can you see a good script in the Industry whereby the Igbo Boy marketers are after cheap Movies Script, also you see a wanna be Producer who just join the Guild and finish shooting a low quality movie end up been "Producer, Director, Script Writer, e.t.c and when you ask him how is it possible for him to be able to handle all this he would say "I am Multi-Talented"

Let Nollywood Call for Scripts, Do a good Workshop and See if 9ja Would not produced an Oscar Quality Movie and Picture.

I am not saying we don't have creative producers who can write and direct but we have alot of "Whack" Igbo Directors.(All Igbos Please am not insulting the Tribe rather am facing facts)

Lets Encourage our Screenwriter its not their fault bad script flood the Industry its because thats what most producers and marketers want.

Shalom!!!
