Room for improvement

Hi all. I am encouraged by the number of Nollywood Pemieres coming up. I may have even lost count. On September 26th, Flower Girl would be premiering, on the 28th September Battered would be premiering and on October 25th Ibu in Sierra Leone among others would at Odeon Greenwich. On the 18th October, Onye Ozi would be premiering at Light House Camberwell. I am also aware that there is an audition for Wedding day on 21st September.

While all these are good, I would like to encourage that in future before spending loads of money, time and effort to premiere, Producers should organise a viewing for people in the industry to watch the movie and give positive criticism and feedback. When I say positive, it may be that it is not what you want to hear, but that may be what would take your movie to the level you want it to go.

On my own part, I would continue to give an objective review of all movies I watch. Even if I am the script writer, Director and Producer, I would still use the same criteria in reviewing all movies without bias. I would welcome comments and critics on my reviews so that I can give my own stand on what I have written and if possible acknowledge any mistakes I may have made and re-review such movies. My desire is for Nollywood to be a household name and for Premieres to be shown at peak times because they can compete with Hollywood Movies.

Well done to all Nollywood script writers, Producers, Executive Producers, Directors, Marketers, Promoters and fans. We would definitely get to the place of excellence!!!
