as we were called or do you separate from the picture we do things just differently so in 10 years time. the industry will be really really different and we're really going very far as the world can do coursework has attracted the attention of a foreign investor her company was acquired by the french broadcaster can i use. this is a 1st time you get people. because he's like saying you guys are doing something because of doing something valuable something we need this is the 1st time. the ward is really seen as in scene one molly wood who's gone like. this is like a success for export of nollywood content. for decades nollywood as a discipline early known was seen as a factory turning out visual pulp fiction for the market stalls of t.v.

pirates films ranging from body comedies to morality tales about witchcraft and intra day to day it's the 2nd largest market in the world. nollywood movies are still made on shoestring budgets and every production takes just 10 days and costs approximately $15000.00 u.s. dollars yet their enjoyed far beyond nigeria's borders. you can see about a lot of. actors are. working with people off of course a lot of you think a lot of actors because you want to come here and work with a thing 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 it's called the waiting can be added seba joins me now from

lagos welcome to africa came in fact before we get to talking i just want all of us to see it except off that film and we'll pick up from there. keep your. friends with me mom i don't come down i got out because god i'm not the only person who has been kidnapped you have to take this month on. us. 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 about how authentic it was it was a unapologetically nigerian and he sure knows in our goods crazy arts ridges and if any if you can learn anything from the feedback 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 of that. was it was the same thing and other people that couldn't connect to it in that way like that was some sort of a window into another world another culture so yeah we're very proud of that one yet the 2nd i mean let's talk about viewers right i mean we talk about nollywood and the filmmaking machine that it is today attributes hole it largely appeals to an african audience and i wondered if if and i was ok with that or if a is to is to change that. i mean i don't think there's anything on this earth that would want the it's not just a chapel it makes you feel this sometime you know some sort of validation this is not some sort of you know so it's an eagle ship but. i mean i was having a conversation with someone earlier from your station and like you know it's a my blood doesn't be here because lately it's been able to affect the distribution

in-house i mean one of the things that we need to to focus on is that we would like . them as of right now we haven't been usable states are distributed within africa so what ends up happening is even though a few of the meetings are really a risk as it is right now in africa as you know more than list because you're not sure that more investment will be able to come back out and then this is why totally lie a lot of external brains or external i want to external investments and things like that so but then i think we need to fix distribution in africa so they're working teacher who are cells that anything outside of that is just it's a politician and nice to have ok let's talk about investment because we're seeing a growing interest in nollywood to the chin off european broadcasters buying up all acquiring local production companies do you see that as

a positive development. yes i mean i think it goes into into the 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 it that's a great thing i don't however feel that we need to be mindful that you keep a bit of ourselves or a lot of ourselves for ourselves there's a list something that we are displaying that the international market an international world is seen and the words are quite off and we need to be aware of that now let's switch of the word let's switch towards snowflake gold that 'd we have to be careful that we're 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 get it. that's all we have time for today hopefully we can get
