You may know this already but Nigerias Nollywood is one of the largest movie producing industries in the world 2nd only to Indias Bollywood now its safe to produce around 3000 movies every get in a moment ill talk to one of the industrys most successful female directors but 1st heres the story of how produces a working to raise the quantity off nollywood films. Welcome to the heart of the african Film Industry nigerian film Company Founder marian who knows the business like the back of her hand she has witnessed the industrys evolution thanks to affordable digital filming and editing technologies the movies quality has improved. The 10 years ago. Nollywood was. Different very different i saw them after. I was a child actor and trust me it was not like this today we should be better comrades we were called or do separate from the picture we do things differently so in 10 years time. The industry will be really really different and we are really going very far school work has attracted the attention of a foreign investor who company was acquired by the french broadcaster can i use. This is a 1st time you get people. Because hes like kind of saying you guys are doing something you guys are doing something valuable something we need this is the 1st time. The world is really seeing as seen one whos gone like. This is like a success for export of nollywood content. For decades nollywood as a discipline their early known was seen as a factory turning out additional pulp fiction for the market stalls of d. V. D. Pirates cheap films ranging from body companies to morality tales about witchcraft and infidelity today its the 2nd largest market in the world Nollywood Movies are still made on shoestring budgets and ever its production takes just 10 days and costs approximately 15000. 00 u. S. Dollars yet theyre in charge far beyond nigerias borders. You can think about a lot of. Actors are all working with people because a lot you think a lot of actors who want to come here and work with nothing like express our culture. You know and put it in the movies nollywood is growing fast much to the delight of all nigerian filmmakers. As promised my next guest is the director of the highest grossing domestic film in a nigerian history its called the waiting can be edited by joins me now from lagos welcome to africa came in fact before we get to talking i just want our viewers to see it except off that film and will pick up from. Your. Friends at mena i dont calm down my god because god im not the only person who has been kidnapped lets take his money. By that use. All right can you so what was it about this film that made it big hits that it was. Oh our Wedding Party won i think it was just people just not how authentic it was it was a unapologetically nigerian and the shit was in our goods crazy yards ridges and if any you can learn anything from that we got from viewers it connected with them in the respect that they felt they could see themselves and a lot of the family members in a lot of our leading characters and people form what i think in the view was that was the same thing and other people that couldnt connect to it in that way that it was some sort of look into another world another culture so yeah were very proud of that one yet secondly i mean lets talk about viewers right i mean we talk about nollywood and film making machine that it is today attributes whole it largely appeals to an african audience and i wondered if if not it was ok with that or if there is to change that. I mean i dont think theres anything unique on this earth that would want the its not just a chapel it makes you feel theres some time into some sort of validation theres some sort of you know so its an ego trip but. I mean i was having a conversation with someone earlier from your station and like you know was in my blood doesnt believe here because lately ive been able to think that distribution inhouse i think one of the things that we need to to focus on is that we would like. Them as of right now we havent been its a concept distributed within africa so what ends up happening is even though a few of the meetings are really risky as it is right now in africa as you know more of a risk because youre not sure that more investment will be able to come back out and then this is why totally lie a lot on external brains or external i want to external investments and things like that so but i think we need to fix this regression in africa so theyre working teacher who ourselves that anything outside that is just its a politician and nice to have ok lets talk about investment because were seeing a growing interest in nollywood to the chin off european broadcasters by apple acquiring local Production Companies do you see that as a positive development. Yes i mean i think it goes into into hands. Anything that brings investment into the industry helps us creates more quality movies and things like that which in turn moves the industry for thats a great thing i dont however feel that we need to be mindful that we keep a bit of ourselves or a lot of ourselves for ourselves theres a list something that we are displaying that the International Market and International World is seeing and the ones are quite off and we need to be aware of that now lets switch off the stick the word lets switch towards silverlake gold we have to be careful that were not so not going to we have to be careful there and also in the rights to mine our goals for absolutely nothing but we should be more about collaboration exchanging ideas excluding expertise and that should be encouraged or i can meditate thats all we have time for today hopefully we can get here back on to talk about your your film thats just debuted on netflix that can be edited in that area yes.
