The third edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series will feature top ten Nigerian female film directors based on their impressive filmography and critically acclaimed films with the emphasis on quality and not quantity.
One highly acclaimed film may be more critically appreciated than 100 substandard movies.
Going to international film festivals and winning coveted awards will also be included in the criteria.

This is like my widely published top 20 Nigerian filmmakers. You can see the list on http://www.modernghana.com/movie/17249/3/top-20-nigerian-filmmakers.html

Selecting the best film directors is critically challenging and especially in Nigeria where Nollywood movies dominate the pedestrian consciousness of the masses who are ignorant of the outstanding Nigerian filmmakers outside the genre of Nollywood.

The following are nine of the ten leading Nigerian female film directors so far.

Sandra Mbanefo Obiago

Amaka igwe (of blessed memory)

Ngozi Onwurah

Remi Vaughn-Richards

Michelle Bello

Tope Oshin-Ogun

PS: We are talking of directors and not producers.

Directing requires deep intellect. Women are always poor at it, the only thing they are good at is having sex with majid in films

Bad thinking.

kai!
Why do you have to be so shallow minded.?

Just so you know, there are many women that are more intelligent than you are and there is nothing you can do about it.

Na wa o DangotePikin... that's just plain rude to the point of stupid.

Well said Prof & Orikinla

10. Destiny Ekaragha

Destiny Ekaragha is the third child of six children. She was born and raised in London, England in 1982 to Nigerian parents who came to Britain in the 1970’s. Watching films has been one of Destiny’s favourite past times for most of her existence, the first film being A Nightmare on Elm Street when aged 5. Her relationship with the dark was never quite the same, however neither was her relationship with film. The idea of escaping to a world other than her own was very compelling.

Destiny has since spent most of her time immersed in all things film related whether it be script writing, directing or drooling over Johnny Depp. She studied film in college and university and got her first runner job on a film called Wimbledon.

After various runner jobs, including a stint at BBC Films, Destiny teamed up with producer Tamana Bleasdale to make her first short film TIGHT JEANS which she both wrote and directed. TIGHT JEANS was funded by the Southern Exposure branch of Film London. TIGHT JEANS went on to be officially selected by the 2008 Times BFI 52nd London Film Festival. It was also voted the best short film shown at the London Film Festival by The Observer newspaper.

Destiny still lives in South East London, a place that has greatly inspired her work. Herself and Tamana Bleasdale are currently developing several projects including three short films, several music videos and a feature film.
