Do you know you can make money from your short film and music video instead of just being content using it as a promo? I'm a procurement agent for an IT company which has just built a platform for viewing movie trailers and short films(not more than 10 mins) on mobile phones. In fact we have an agreement with a telco company and we will be goimg live very soon. This could be a platform to monetize your short films, movie trailers , music videos and the likes. If interested send me an email jovikool@yahoo.com or call 08023429131

As a follow up to the above post anybody interested in the platform should please stay action on uploading his/her content. There are some issues with the IT company that I will want to trash out. Will keep u posted.

NOLLYPAGE - this is your online resume as a film maker, It allows you to list you previous jobs in the 'Portfolio' tab (if you haven't done any job, don't worry, wait till you read about NOLLYAUDITION), post your personal details in the 'Personal Details' tab, display your head-shots/mug-shots, behind the scene photos,etc in the 'Gallery' tab, and most importantly, make your contact details available to privileged users in the 'Contact' tab.

NOLLYAUDITION - How would u like to be getting movie roles without going to auditions? This is an important part of your NOLLYPAGE; simply upload a short video of yourself acting. This would reduce the stress of physically being present and spending all day at auditions as producers would be able to see what you can do and contact you. For producers, the videos will help you cut to the chase and get the artiste you want at your leisure. More Hollywood people are turning their attention to the Nigeria movie industry, allow them see what you can do.

NOLLYARTICLE - a lot of negative things have been said about the Nigerian movie industry. This will focus on the positive side of our industry.

Other secions include NOLLYSHORY, NOLLYPAGE, NOLLYSHOW, NOLLYJOB, etc.
