Tangent
From Adesegun Adetoro (MoviePencil, Gangs of Lagos EP), Adenike Adebayo (Screening Room, Chemistry), and now Shola Thomspon (Last Call) – Nollywood has fully entered its era of Movie critics turning filmmakers who want to tell bold stories.
Hopefully, we might see more of this transition as the industry gets more robust opportunities and funding initiatives. And perhaps how the critic’s experience translates on-screen – Improved and Better or the art suffers the same mistakes, letdown will be quite the observation.
