The Film Blog: Old Nollywood isn’t going anywhere anytime soon

For every film producer that says Nollywood is neglecting its slapdash storylines, its complete disregard for attention to detail, and its underlying ideology that says, “if you can cut it to an hour and thirty minutes, or two hours then it must be good to go.” There’s another that says, “Bullshit!
