if all you have gotten from all i have said is how expensive everything is,then ill suggest you go through my earlier comments again,to clarify some points i made earlier,in my opinion ill keep on saying professionalism in the industry is the very first step to showing the banks,multi nationals,private individuals that they r serious,this is encompassing good scriptwriters,professional directors and not quacks,professional camera men who know what lightning angles mean in a movie set e.t.c this first step will make people pay attention to nollywood and see the potentials, hollywood didnt get there in one day,neither did bollywood,so theres really no quick fix to the nollywood problem because its like decay from the insides

Forgive me for having a hard time understanding what point you are making. A few times I thought I got it but then you post something else or you disagree with someone else's point. . . A point which I thought was similar to yours and  it throws a wrench in the whole point getting process. I won’t deny I can be a little slow on the uptake, so I’ll ask your indulgence as I try to get there by breaking it down crayola style.

Thanks.

Earlier in the thread, someone made a point about Nollywood putting some life into their movie production, acquire land in the village, buy some gadget and technology, he even gave an example using Bollywood and their tiny room. You summarily dismissed this, saying they don’t have the money, they needed money from outside.

I made a little dig at you (sorry about that) by saying ever heard of something called investment? I stated that this would be naïve to think they can get money from outsiders in their present state because there is no incentive for an outsider to want put their money into something that is a mess., which leaves us with one last option for funding. . . Nollywood investing in itself. If they made themselves attractive enough, they might attract interest from outside investors. Is it going to be expensive? Absolutely but in the long run, they are going to reap the rewards!

You said it’s all well and good to say Nollywood should invest in itself but for you, it is all about distribution and marketing, Something I think is akin to talking about roofing when you haven’t even dug the ground for foundation . . . but let’s leave that to the side.

A-Town suggests they build theaters for their movies (another form of investment) and even makes a good point about ROT, you say it’s too expensive for them right now and then you bring in Professionalism.

According to you,  professionalism encompasses the following. . .

1) Good scriptwriters.
2) Professional directors and not quacks.
3) Professional camera men who know what lightning angles mean in a movie sets

And all these people are supposed to work for free. . . maybe out of the goodness of their hearts and they will do so with shoddy equipment?

Of course not!

So we know three things 

1) Professionalism in the industry is the very first step to showing the banks, multi nationals, private individuals that they r serious

2) Professionals (who bring professionalism into the industry) won’t work for free.

3) Since NOLLYWOOD can’t look to outside investors, like banks for money to pay the professionals who will infuse professionalism into the business so they can attract outside investors. . . Like banks, then the money must be coming from NOLLYWOOD themselves.

Right?

So having said all of that, It kind makes me wonder why you dismissed my post about INVESTMENT and Nollywood investing in itself.  . . by saying it would be too expensive for them to do?

If we even add the little fact that the long term cost of an equipment is less compared to that of services (i.e. professional services), on account of you know.  . . . having to pay the Professional writers, directors and camera men each time they work as opposed to the one time fee of buying an equipment, we will see that what you are proposing is far more expensive than what others have suggested.

Now, going back to marketing, what exactly are we marketing. . . The same crappy movie? Sure there are good sales people out there who can talk anyone into buying anything. . . but how many times will anyone buy poo packaged as brownies before say they say enough?

I wish I could manage a blog like you do but I can't because I lack dicipline and follow through and that's why I bow to you.

Nice blog! Such a Cutie too!!

Why would you want to do that in the first place? 

You need prayers more than I do because I have all I need and you can barely make it through without bursting into tears wondering where it all went wrong and how to make it right, forgetting right and wrong is all subjective because what is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander.

How else will they know who is in charge or not to go overboard when you give them an inch?

A good smacking upside the head once in a while needs to be added to the marital vows.

So what exactly are you proposing? Because so far all we've gotten is how things are too expensive for them

Get Better technology - Too expensive
Build Theater - Too Expensive
Get a Studio - Too Expensive

Might as well just scrap the entire industry and be done with it.
