Ok so can anyone tell me how marketing and distribution works in Nollywood? I've heard the marketers basically give you a fee upfront and pirate the hell out of your movie. Is that it?? What if you print your own copies and sell to the marketers, or distribute it yourself somehow??

And what is this fee? I understand it depends on popularity of your actors and producers but roughly what, 30k/50k/100k USD?

I'm a new director and i need to know that i can recoup the costs of my first movie. Not bothered about profits yet, i just want to get my style noticed, and believe me you will notice.

Nollywood films must shift millions in copies, it will be a shame if the producers never see the money.

Hi,

Your posts pique my interest. Can we meet?
