Controversal Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has slammed film production on Nigeria and said things done in the movie industry is mediocre. In a lengthy rant, he attacks Nigerian movie producers.
Read his post about movie making in the country below:
We shoot “emergency films” in Nigeria, it can never win international awards like Oscar… ????????????The mediocrity in #film making in #naija is astronomically, and overwhelmingly pathetic. How can you shoot, or #produce a movie in less than 3 months, and expect it to be nominated for a major #award in #America? ????????Even the so called “high budget” movies being produced are not even up to 3 months, this is one of the reasons why our industry seems to be growing in quantity, and not in quality.???? I understand every #movie is different. It depends on the length and complexity of the script, and the size of the budget, but how do we explain a movie shot in seven days????????? That’s colossal lunacy. In #Hollywood, shooting a film alone takes up to 60 to 120 days on the average, while post #production can take up to six months. In #Nollywood, the array of incompetent, misguided and hyper clumsy looking people being paraded as actors regrettably undermine the quality of our movies. I am the only #popular actor in Nigeria who has ever gotten the attention of an A list #American celeb, ????so #believe me when i tell you that some people need to be “bus conductors”, “commercial sex workers”, “run way models”, “tomatoe sellers”, “spare part dealers”, and not actors and actresses in Nollywood.????????????
