Film making: ‘Nollywood lovers are extremists’

Fast-rising Nollywood actor, Taiwo Adeyemi, has labelled Nollywood lovers as ‘extremists’.

The rising actor made the statement while reacting to the level of criticism the movie industry has received from viewers in the country.

The actor, comparing Nollywood to Hollywood, added that Hollywood has its challenges but the criticism is not as extreme as it is with Nollywood in Nigeria.

Adeyemi, who has featured in movies such as ‘Kasanova’, ‘You are me’, ‘Flakky Ijaya’ to name a few, disclosed that even though chances are few for up-and-coming actors from filmmakers, his love for acting and positive reviews have kept him moving.

He said Nollywood industry tried to go the extra mile in achieving what they want.

“Unlike before, some producers don’t care about the cameras they use, the costumes, etc., but now, everyone wants to make do of the best.

“There’s so much competition in the industry and its super great. Everyone is on their toes working earnestly, even the celebrity actors and actresses never stopped improving daily,” he submitted.
