I understand but realistically it isn't going to happen. One man isn't going to leave his culture to showcase another.
You really have to do it yourself if you want it done. I was the same as you...wanting to see more Urhobo language movies and I was suprised to hear that they were plenty out there but only available in their area. These movies weren't made for them by 'strangers' either.
The ethnic groups (I don't like to say
'tribe') are like that...doing things for themselves. It is the only way to get noticed in a country as diverse as Nigeria.
They may even be some Esan movies available...have you checked in your part of the Country?
I wouldn't describe us as being 'alien' to one another. If you put it out there and it is 'sweet' all Nigerians will watch it.
The Igbo movies are not only watched and bought by Igbos and the same goes for the others. I am sure Every literate Nigerian has read 'Things fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe.
