Is it realistic for Nigerians to make movies for the rest of the world, not just Nigeria or Africa?

- How do you distribute your movie internationally without world distributors? www.createspace.com

- How do you deal with the strange Nigerian English accent? Subtitles? Speech training for actors?

- How do you create a storyline that travels well? Make action and horror movies, which travel well?

It seems to be just two of us - for now. Many filmmakers don't even consider International distribution.

Amazing Grace Nollywood 'outsells' Hollywood Version: well, for 24 hours. Currently the Hollywood version is doing much much much better. By the way, their US distributor is the US is Code Black Entertainment. They might be interested in distributing other high profile Nigerian movies.

sorry to say, but I really don't see it happening in the near future. Not from the Nollywood establishment, anyway.

I disagree. If we focus on competent and original storytelling rather than shooting on film et cetera, it's quite possible.

i said "not the from Nollywood establishment," didn't i?

We're on the same page then. The question is now, who will be the first to cross the line?

combrazor you know much, but what do you suggest is the way. can nairaland cross the line?

attaining international recognition with an idea by any nairalander?

all nolly movies need to stay in nigeria, the world doesn't need to be fed with poo!

Seun i don't agree with No 2. So you want Nigerians to start faking their accent because they want to please the international audience. How come Indian movies are popular worldwide even though they don't even use English and why do American speak with their own accent. Do they think it's everyone that understands them?

rsaman,pls if u dont know what to say can u keep ur mouth shut for a while and let othersmake constructive contributions,if u dont see any good coming out of nigeria then look elsewhere,we have seen kajola,ije,dangerous men,figurine and some feww others america is over 100 years old and they didnt get to where they are overnight.
seun so many american movies are shot on hd cameras,its the lighting and color grading that makes the difference most times,the problem with us is finance and so what i propose is partnership with like minds and not just talking on nairaland,i have started something and will be in nigeria in a few months time,i am working with canon,redone and sony xd cam cos thats what a lot of guys use even in the u.s cos producing film now is expensive.i know in the next one year we will see changes cos i have met a lot of nigerian doing great things and soon we will get to see them

Project, i don't know abt kajola tho. I can only give dem thumbs up for making an attempt. I propose we do less talk more action.

Project,

You seem knowledgeable about Nollywood. Do you know of good Nollywood producers looking for wider distribution outside of Nigeria? We can help.
