The sunset in the city #Nairobi

See their roads, tiny as them

Theenchanter come and see ooo that Kenyan actress you told me about that acted"Tinsel"? She said Tinsel made her popular in Africa and both America and Europe. That kenyans should continue watching Nollywood so that they can pick up. I told these Kenyans that, watching olden days movie comparing it with now is not helping if they want to enjoy a movie with their families or siblings they should stick Nollywood movies such as. The johnsons, Tinsel, Hustle, the siblings, Jennifer's diary, Mr do good etc.


Kenya’s low cost film industry – dubbed Riverwood after Nairobi’s River Road area – has flourished in recent years, but is still dwarfed by Nigeria’s Nollywood. Lizz Njagah, one of Kenya’s leading TV and film actresses, has been active in both industries. Njagah has acted in long-running soap opera, ‘Tinsel’, as the character Tare Duke. She recently also co-started a film production company and is developing a Kenyan reality TV show. How we made it in Africa’s Dinfin Mulupi asks Njagah about the challenges of investing in African films and what Kenya needs to transform the industry.

How did you get started in this industry?

I got a two year scholarship at Phoenix Players in Nairobi where I studied everything from acting, directing, production and stage management. It was unconventional training. We were not studying for exams but [rather] to really hone our skills in film and theatre. I have always been interested in acting. My parents initially wanted me to go to campus after high school, but I objected to this because it would have been a waste of time. There were no drama schools in Kenya at the time, after all. We did not have money to send me to the US. So when I got the scholarship, I took it.

What was your big break?

‘Tinsel’ was my big break. It let Africa know about me. ‘Tinsel’ shows across the whole of Africa and in some American and European countries. I have worked on many films, movies and theatre productions in Kenya and East Africa.



You are also an investor in the film industry. Tell us about that.

My husband – a director – and I started a production company last year. One of our projects was the movie ‘The Return of Lazarus’, which premiered last year. We filmed it in Greece. We also produced Me, My Wife and Her Guru’. We are also currently working on a reality show called ‘Meet the Konstantaras’. This will be Kenya’s premier reality show. It follows the lives of my husband Alex Konstantaras and I. We are a Greek and Kenyan newly married couple. The premise of it is the fact that many Kenyans watch reality TV shows. So why not? We do not have to be as dramatic as American reality TV shows because Kenyans are a bit conservative.

Our production company is planning to do several films. We are also in the early stages of developing a sitcom. The hardest thing now is convincing corporates to sponsor the production. In Nigeria, corporates are very willing to sponsor films, but not so [much] in Kenya.

Has Kenya fully exploited its potential in the film industry?

No. How many films come out every year? In Nigeria, every day there is a film being released. We are not even scratching the surface. This industry has the potential to create thousands of jobs.

Kenya is behind Nigeria’s vibrant Nollywood. What’s wrong?

We need a lot of local support. Kenyans need to grow beyond watching Nigerian films. Yes, let’s watch Nigerian, but also Kenyan productions. We need people to buy our DVDs and watch our films on TV. I know people say they want Hollywood standards. But, come on, we can’t do Hollywood standards without support. We also do not have distribution networks. The thing is, no one wants to sell pirated Kenyan films because they will end up in trouble. We would have wanted our movies to be pirated so all Kenyans would have access to them. We need our films to get to the people, even if it is through piracy.


What else is needed to transform Riverwood?


We are not just thinking Kenya but Africa as well. What makes the Nigerian industry so profitable? It’s because they have a population of over 150 million people. We don’t have those kinds of numbers and not everyone has a TV anyway. We are looking at around 100,000 people out of Kenya’s 40 million population. That is not enough. We need at least two million people to make any profit.

We need to think East Africa to reach more people. Musicians have done it. They are making a lot of money, although most of it is from appearances. We just need to get people to buy our productions.

Whoever suggest that sowore should be arrested has indirectly made sowore more popular and famous( it is a big mistake) I fear, sowore is the next big deal in nigeria now. international media will popularised him . sowore has gotten what he really want.

Nice write up? You just said my mind

samorobo:
Hell yeah it will.that was the wrongest most silly move the govt made.to arrest a free man during the early hours of 1am by an unofficial force, infact they just added fuel to fire because they have now angered the youth and the protest was meant to be peaceful but because of this stupid irrational move I see it going the other way around. .They don't know the man has tHE backings of A USA SMITHSONIA.infact nigerians in diaspora has a hand in the US ban on nigerians most especially the politicians which sowore also as a hand in..They won't know what will hit them ..sowore arrest was anticipated and I am even more shocked and surprise that the arrest didn't come sooner than I expected. THE PROTEST IS STILL GOING TO HOLD WITH OR WITHOUT SOWORE AND MIND YOU THEY CAN'T HARM A HAIR ON THAT MAN HEAD, THEY ARE ONLY TRYING TO SEPERATE HIM FROM PROTEST TOMMORWO WHILE THEY LOOK FOR WHAT TO BLACKMAIL HIM WITH

And I heard Nnamdi kalu is behind him this time
