As the Nigerian movie industry, through private ingenuity and creativity, continues to expand and give room to creative expression, the Inkblot Women In Film (IWIF) initiative has bemoaned the lack of structure and access to information.
The IWIF is targeted at studying the various issues that currently affect Nigeria’s film industry. IWIF has been focused on hosting intimate forums where industry practitioners, academics, financiers and stakeholders across the value chain come together to discuss the challenges facing Nollywood and also find viable solutions to these issues.
The conversations, which started since January 2021 have been on for months now, and the May cohort was again at the forefront of efforts to keep the conversation going. In attendance was co-founder, Inkblot Productions and Convener IWIF, Zulumoke Oyibo; actor, Kehinde Bankole; actor, Producer and host, Eku Edewor; Lawyer, Bukki Olabiyi; Producer, Abimbola Craig, Production Designer, Jennifer Anti; Post Prod
