Nollywood actor, Gabriel Afolayan, has stated that criticism is necessary for the film industry to improve.
Naija News reports that the thespian made this known during an interview with Punch.
He said, “Criticism is needed. How do we get better if people are not ready to talk about what we are doing? Both the audience and filmmakers have to come together.”
Afolayan also stated that Nollywood is ready for every genre of movie production, including action films…IMAGIN!!!,AFTER HE GIVES HER EVERYTHING, SEE WHAT SHE DID TO HIS MOTHER AFTER SHE CAUGHT HER WITH ANOTHER MAN
He said, “Nollywood is ready for everything. Trust me, we just need to keep serving. You don’t know how intelligent people are until you create something that will blow their minds. Even if you believe you’ve made a great film, until an audience watches it and decides whether it’s good or not, nothing else really matters. I feel our audience is ready for everything we have to give them.”
The thespian also praised the sharpness of Nigerian viewers across all backgrounds, saying, “The taste buds of Nigerians when it comes to different movie genres are very sharp. You see people in the medical field analysing films as if they were part of the production. Ordinary people dissect movies, and you’ll be amazed. You know why? Because we make these films for them.
A film doesn’t belong to the filmmaker; they are just instruments the universe uses to put it together. And because they love the film, they’ll put money in your pocket as a filmmaker. But even after you release a film, you won’t make anything from it until the audience says it is good enough.”.Read..The..Full…Article..
