Over the years,the country has given birth to a thriving Film
industry. The world third largest movie business.
Today, "I received a mail about a new cinema movie about to
be produced......Now,the producer of the movie is organising
an audition to have the best out of the best actors for the
movie......and the most ANNOYING part is......asking those
who are interested to be auditioned, to pay a sum of
5000naira into his account and bring the teller on the
auditioning day"...
my question is.......is acting now School that u will pay for
change of institution or...is acting not a career.....imaging
asking a MASTER DEGREE HOLDER of Theatre Arts to pay 5k
to be auditioned again.....plssss.....stop all these.....There is
should be a law guiding our movie industry..If you audition
100 and only 30 are okay for the Job.....yes...let them act
and u will pay them....OH MY GOD....We need an
entertainment lawyer...
STOP MANIPULATING PEOPLE.....It is wrong to pay money
for a job interview or Movie/film audition....plsss
MY PEOPLE....THESE ARE SCAMMERS...AS FAR AS I KNOW
THOSE FILMMAKERS.....THEY DONT COLLECT MONEY FOR
AUDITION...PLS...
Beware of one filmmaker asking people to payinto his Access
bank account for a new movie to be shot in Ikorodu.....
IF YOU WISH TO JOIN ACTING....I WILL ADVISE YOU TO GO
TO SCHOOL AND STUDY THEATRE ACTS AND THEN,JOIN
ANY OF THE MOVIE GROUPS/CLICKS...IF YOU ARE GOOD
THEY WILL TAKE YOU. ACTING A PROFESSION AND NOT
something else....I later called the number inside the mail and it was a man that answered.....i asked him if its proper to pay 5k for a movie audition and he said....it is actually for accomodation
and feeding of the participant. i also asked him how long hes
been in the industry, he said about 10years. So i finally asked
that, in the history of the movie industry, as he ever paid any
sum of money to get auditioned for a role and he said No.
So that ends my conversation with him...
