I have been meeting with the top Nollywood Director in his new base in Port Harcourt where he was one of the resource persons at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Port Harcourt Scrptwriting Workshop that was dominated by young women. NTA Port Harcourt is in search of new talents in scriptwiting and acting. They also had auditions for their upcoming soap opera that I wanted to recommend a female member of Nairaland, but she has not proved that she is serious to date.
Chika said that there is nothing new in Nollywood. Only the same rehashed old stories from the Nollywood Recycle Bin. Garbage in, garbage out (GIGO). And he is now working on films to take Nollywood to the next level. I mentioned Jetta Amata's feature "Amazing Grace" on 35mm and also Faruk Lasaki's "Changing Faces" on 35mm.
Jetta Amata is the most ambitious of the Amatas family in Nollywood. And I am sure that the daring young director can make a difference in Nollywood. Chika Onu agreed.

Jetta Amata deserves our commendation.
I don't think the young man was ignorant of the guidelines. He must have gone there to make contacts for future benefits.
As I said earlier in another post, the Nigerian films are coming.
Jetta Amata is a hardworking young director who knows what he is doing.
I met him once. Then, he was still a gangling teenager with a tall ambition. He has dreams and dreams make the man and the man makes the world to spin around on the big screen. The big picture shows more. Let us make big pictures!
Jetta, I raise my two thumbs to you!

Because as at present, there is nothing new in Nollywood.
