A Media Executive, Tosin Alabi has urged the producer of the blockbuster movie called A Tribe Called Judah, Funke Akindele to finetune her story plotting for continued success in the movie industry.
The Master’s Degree In Film, Television, and, Moving Images from the University of Westminster London made this known in his write-up ‘Beyond Box Office Triumph: Funke Akindele’s Cinematic Odyssey and the Future of Nigerian Storytelling’ and issued to Tribune Online Friday in Lagos.
Alabi noted that Akindele’s success in cinema can be attributed to her conscious efforts in creating relatable stories for the ordinary person, along with attention to set design, costume, and makeup.
According to him, her consistent focus on family values and community living has been a hallmark of her storytelling.
The Media Executive, however, noted there’s room for exploration beyond these themes into genres like Thrillers, Action, Melodrama, and Horror, moving away from the conventional home video style.
He explained that Cinema offers a global platform for Nigerian content and with the nation’s vast population and cultural diversity.
The Executive added there’s potential for film exports on a global scale, noting that Filmmaking should not be reduced to a mere business venture; attention to details like research, genre modifications, and plot structure is crucial.
