Hello nairalanders, my service year would soon end and am thinking of starting a film company instead of being idle @ home looking for jobs.I really want to start somtin in d field as a film enterpreneur.So how do I start.

Why not start by being an independent producer first if u ve got good capital? This whole tin is a gradual step. After u produce a few movies, it wil be easier and better to open a film company

@ sheyma, yea its a gradual process like dollyangel said, its best when you do some movies, know people, get familiar with the business then you start your own. But the thing is, the Nigeria movie industry now is filled with the wrong & greedy people, when you contact them they start lookin at how much of you money they can lay their greedy claws on.
Some even tell you that with their help you can do a film with less than how much you have in mind. It doesn‘t stop there, they rush you into doing a movie that never looks better than the junk we have in the markets everywhere in the country.
They tell you they can get your movie in the market in three weeks, but you see the other side of them when you finally bring out your money and start the work.
I have produced a movie too which is yet to be out. You can see the preview in the links in my signature. I know what I went through to make sure it was a success, but the fact is I would have had better.
Just like you, I want a film company of my own, to do films that can really compete elsewhere, not just in Nigeria and to also run other stuff that can keep the company financially stable even when I don‘t have a film in the market.
I would‘ve moved faster if I had a partner but its not everyday that you see people especially the young with the spirit of entreprenuership. I am already putting things in place to kick off.

What I am trying to say is, it all depends on what you want and how determine you are. You can make better pictures as opposed to joining the bandwagon.

If you find an expert adviser who really has your interest at heart, that will be a good thing for you.

We can talk more if you like. risingstarsfilmproduction@gmail.com 08091450426.

@dollyangel, with the little I wrote above you can figure out what people like me who are interested in the business of movie making are afraid of. So if your contacts or experts are really the type a young film producer like myself should listen to, I will really appreciate if you mail me too.
Thanks guys

I have a theatre troupe I started in school that have been running for three years now and I want to set it up as a film production company. Do I need to register it first and if yes how do I go about it? 09072345911
