Being the first media “Supple Magazine from Nigeria” to be at the Oscar was a think of joy.After my accreditation by the press section I was set for the biggest stage in the film business. I just can’t express the excitement having such a wonderful experience and will not wait to be there again in 2015.
Our Nigerian film industry must know that film business is not practiced in isolation, we can’t be clamming that we have a large film industry without creating and supporting platforms that will attract other professionals from all parts of the world. Lupita Yong’o exploits at the Oscars have not only helped to attract more attention to Kenyan film industry but also more confidence to their film practitioners.
A LESSON FOR NOLLYWOOD INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE FILM MAKERS
This is the category Nollywood can enter for the Oscars with films produced on our local languages but must meet all professional standards.
Foreign Language Film
The Broken Circle Breakdown” Belgium
“The Great Beauty” Italy (Winner)
“The Hunt” Denmark
“The Missing Picture” Cambodia
“Omar” Palestine
A LESSON FOR NOLLYWOOD UPCOMING ACTORS.
Given the class of actresses like Julia Roberts, who could have given Lupita Nyong’o a chance? Some three years ago Lupita should have been dreaming of being as popular as one of the Nollywood Stars but today, African actors want to be like her.
Start now to look beyond what have been achieved in our local set ups and believing in you so that when that break through role comes, use it very well.
Rachael Mwanza of Congo collected the Silver Bear of Berlin Film Festival in 2012 and also walked the red carpet of Oscar too. She was less than 20 years; she played a major role in the film “War Witch”.Being at the Oscar should be the dream of any professional because that is the ultimate in this business.
