Nollywood Producer Bolaji Ogunmola Critiques YouTube
Bolaji Ogunmola, a Nollywood producer, expressed concerns regarding the use of YouTube for filmmaking in a recent interview. She claimed that the platform was not originally designed for films, which poses significant risks for filmmakers.
Ogunmola pointed out that while actors may charge high fees, the assumption that producers earn substantial profits from films with millions of views is often misleading. She mentioned that the cost of making films on YouTube can be high, with even the worst films requiring significant investment.
Ogunmola urged Nigerian filmmakers to reconsider their approach to using YouTube, emphasizing that the financial landscape for movie production in Nigeria is challenging, with many filmmakers facing difficulties in distribution and funding.
