How Lack of Funding, Market, Influence Dearth Of Children Themed Productions – Report

The lack of funding, market interest, and influence are contributing to the dearth of children-themed productions in the film industry, according to stakeholders. Queen Blessing Ebigieson, the national president of the Association of Movie Producers (AMP), highlighted the challenge of low demand for child-themed movies, with the market primarily focused on drama series.

Producers often create content based on personal values rather than what sells, leading to limited exposure for child-focused productions. The absence of child-specific content affects family dynamics and societal development, emphasizing the need for parents to ensure children are exposed to morally educative and impactful content.

Ebigieson stressed the importance of parental support in driving demand for child-themed productions, urging producers to create engaging and beneficial content for young audiences. She also called for government intervention to bridge the gap and promote child-focused productions in the industry.
