Shan George, a Nollywood actress, singer, film producer and director, in a recent interview disclosed what in her opinion the main problem with the movie industry in Nigeria.
The mother of two, said, the formation of ” cabals” within Nollywood has eaten deep and is killing the industry.
She went further to explain that no one wants to offer a newbie a role except by recommendation from someone in his/her cabal.
She suggested that they make do without that ideology for the movie industry to make progress.
She said:
There’s a lot of cabals going on and seriously this cabality is everywhere, I mean, film producers have people with a list of names and if you don’t know certain persons we cannot accept your movie.
There is no doubt that, these are the reasons the industry is not going on the way it should go but in every other area, we have good writers, dynamic producers and directors like me.
The types of equipment are in top gear, top notch writers, who are doing amazingly well.
The cabality is the major issue”
