Tangent
YouTube has had a profound impact on Nollywood with its vast reach and accessibility. The streaming platform has revolutionized the way Nollywood films are distributed, consumed, and shared. Previously, Nollywood struggled with limited distribution channels and piracy issues. However, YouTube provided a platform for filmmakers to showcase their work to a global audience without the constraints of traditional distribution models.
This newfound exposure not only propelled Nollywood onto the international stage but also opened up opportunities for collaboration, cross-cultural exchange, and easy accessibility to Nigerian content. Some successful titles that gained popularity on the platform are Ndani TV’s Game On, the evergreen classic Skinny Girl in Transit, Red TV’s The Men’s Club, and TNC Africa’s Little Black Book.
