@all,
The best way to make it in Nigeria (and in life) is not to expect any help i.e. dunno wait for nobody to help you..
The best way to do that, as an average Nigerian is to work on short plays (i.e. movies less than 30 mins [there are short films of less than a minute that wins award]).
With these few steps, i think you'll have a cute future in movie production...
1.) Try to buy/ steal a camera or a camcoder with at least 10MP, or buy a used one.
2.) If you can't afford that now, try to make friends with people that lease, a very good one is around 5K per day/2
3.) If you cant afford those stuffs, just hold on...
a.) write a very short script (browse the net or contact me to send some to you.)
b.) search the net or contact me to give you a list available short script competitions
4.) If you have your camera. Research on short film production (so far you started scripting without going to school, you can do this too)
5.) After that, call your friends and start working on it
6.) open a youtube account and do these
i). either make it secure or make it open(you can make money from your movies on youtube)
ii). either way, you are still good...
7.) Not forgetting the fact that you still have full moves O...
WHY I WENT THROUGH THAT IS BECAUSE, YOU CAN SELL SHORT FILMS, ENTER COMPETITIONS WITH SHORT FILM SCRIPTS, OR HAVE A BARGAINING POWER. CONTACT MOVIE PRODUCERS ABROAD AND GET THEM TO YOUR YOUTUBE PAGE TO SEE HOW VOOD YOU ARE, USE YOUR FILMS TO GET SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY ABROAD E.T.C

baysol: You mean we should teach the would through high school movies how to cheat in exams. How teachers mess around with female students for marks and other pervertive tendences in Nigerian Education system. Mine is let the head that is sick (GEJ and his croonies) be healed first and the society sanitised then only then will I support these kind of films or movies. Haven't Nigeria tought the world enough negative lifestyle in witch craft which is now being revived worldwide and still spreading like wild fire because of uncensored NOLLYWOOD movies.

adorebee: kip it up!!!and pls dnt listen to any1.

baysol: V official: You hardly can distinguish between immorality and immortality and yet you want to comment like an intellect that you are not. why comment on issues you are incompetent to judgenor have a clue to decifer accurately. Alot of you guys cannot even atticulate on issues except to derail them because of their moral and intellectual ineptitude but want to be seen as a commentatator. If you must know,their are great stories that can come from high schools in Nigeria no doubt but most of our stories should not be centred on negative things as mentioned earlier as a lot of negative legacies have started doing their rounds in Nigeria education system nowadays.

we take a look at the Nollywood industry,we will discover they produce movies especially for adults. A glance at Hollywood shows they have numerous movies for adults as well as high school movies for kids and teenagers,but in Nollywood,high school movies are ignored

Jayboy124: I saw Champions of our Time and realised we could get even children who are very good actors.

If we have producer ready for real high school stuff, then the talent will be found. There are good actors in our secondary schools.

Ekowise: Very gud innovation my dear.
However, Nigerians ar d SHARP-SHARP money kind. Your idea wil cnsolidat nd sell at longrun very well. But Nigeria sponsor need ideas wit short tern pay.
But if u get sm1 who wil undastnd wht gud buz is all about 2 sponsor u,

Just like saying americans are advertising immotality, right?... when u c or hear new ireas from people interested in real change, dont criticize unless its constructive-, i'm sure you're one of those people that cant do without borrowing those "bad nollywood" film from ur neighbours

baysol:
