Orikinla: Let me address this in perspective.

There is at the moment no basis for comparison between Nollywood and Hollywood.
It would be like comparing an underdeveloped country to a developed country.
Imagine comparing development in Nigeria to the United States.
Therefore, even as the veteran Nigerian filmmaker Tunde Kelani noted, Nollywood cannot compete with Hollywood.
Nollywood cannot even compete with South Africa, India, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Israel, and others who have produced films (not home videos) of high standards to qualify for the official selection of Cannes Film Festival and Foreign Language Category of the Academy Awards. Where no Nollywood producer has even walked the red carpet among the stars.
I am still trying to push Nollywood film makers and actors to take up challenges that will make them compete with the best in the world.

Lest we forget, Nollywood is only 20 years old, but the history Nigerian cinema is 108 years old since the first Nigerian film Palaver was shot in Jos in 1904.
Majority of people and even many of those in Nigeria are ignorant of the facts and figures on Nollywood and those who need the information can find it on the first ever comprehensive survey on the The Nollywood Phenomenon [/i]on http://www.nigeriansreport.com/2012/10/the-nollywood-phenomenon.html.

There are Nigerian filmmakers who operate outside mainstream Nigerian film industry who are not Nollywood producers and are capable of competing in Hollywood and they are even members of the Directors Guild of America (DGA).

Andrew Dosunmu is a notable Nigerian photographer and filmmaker who has directed music videos for various acclaimed artists like Isaac Hayes, Angie Stone, Common, Tracy Chapman, Wyclef Jean, Kelis, Aaron Neville, Talib Kweli and Maxwell.[1] He is the director of the 2011 drama film, [i]Restless City which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Dosunmu currently lives between New York and Lagos, Nigeria.
Another notable Nigerian is Folayo Lasaki also based in the US and lest I forget Newton Aduaka who is based in Europe.

Omotola and Genevieve are highly regarded in Nollywood and celebrated as divas here, but I doubt if they can pass auditions in Hollywood, except they come recommended by highly respected people in Hollywood.

Billyonaire: Hollywood is over 200 Yrs Old. Nollywood is just 16yrs old. In 100 yrs, Nollywood will beat Hollywood of Today, and in 200yrs Nollywood will beat Hollywood of all times, cos Hollywood will go bankrupt cos of digital americans and no one will be buying movies anymore cos it will be easily downloaded by the too savvy, loss of revenue will be the doom of Hollywood.

I_A_J_A: Call her an optimist.

In an interview with Fidelis Mbah of BBC to promote her new film Amina, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde responded positively to the question: “Nollywood movies have over the years received knocks for low quality and poor scripts. Has anything changed lately?”

“Oh absolutely. If you watch most movies out of Nollywood in the past three, four years—perhaps in 2006, consistently—most of the big-budget movies are what they are: big-budget movies. They can compete with any other movie from anywhere else around the world—even Hollywood.”

Later, Mbah said: “Judging by international recognition and awards, Nollywood film industry doesn’t seem to be doing so well, despite the number of movies produced almost on daily basis.”

“Really? You think we’re not doing very well? It’s ‘supposedly’ the third largest movie industry in the world,” replied Omotola, raising her fingers to denote quotes for the word “supposedly.”

“And we’re barely just 16 years old,” she continued. “I think that’s very well—extremely well, actually.”

However, the 34-year-old actress, who had her breakthrough with 1995′s Moral Inheritance, recognizes that Nollywood is not “perfect,” placing its limitations on its foundation in a “Third World country” that is “still growing.”

“We’re doing the best we humanly can, and I think we have grown tremendously,” said Omotola, citing Amina as an example.

Amina, a joint Nigerian-British production directed by Christian Ashiaku, is a psychological human drama. Omotola stars as the titular character: a young woman who suffers a mental breakdown due to a series of unfortunate events. The world premiere took place on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at London’s Empire Cinemas in Leicester Square.

size38: I think this omotola of a gal is dreaming seriously. I dont watch nigerian movies, but the few i have watched could best be described as drama & not movies.
