Hollywood actress, Lynn Whitfield has said that the Nigerian Movie Industry ( Nollywood) is fast developing but still needs more time to get to perfection.
She added that there is so much curiosity internationally about Nollywood because they have carved a niche, making foreigners eager to reckon with them.
Whitfield who is in Nigeria for the African Film Festival was speaking on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, in Tinapa, Calabar, stated that most of the stories written do not reflect the life of an everyday Nigerian, adding that the stories are written based on personal issues but “the Nigeria that I know are authoritative and powerful people which is so different from what the writers capture”.
She added that part of her visit here is to train young writers, film makers to be able to picture the Nigerian culture in movie making.
Whitfield revealed that she plans to be part of Nollywood production and not just cameo which she has been involved in before.
