I thought I was being selfish by my intetions to always produce my work. But when you have been writing so many, how can you produce them all? Because I don't see myself making more than 2 or 3 movies in a year.

Do you have to produce all your works by yourself?Look for the right people in the industry to link up with.Such folks are still around and ready to support good materials.But if you want a journey through pain,just give idumota one of your best works,and watch them drag it through mud.
I guarantee you a whole lot of pain.

No,it wasn't.It went through a new marketing channel,and by the look of things,more effective.
The regular idumota marketing channel has been so thoroughly screwed up by the people running it,that to make a homvie profitable,it has to be stretched and sliced into many bits and pieces.
Keeping the integrity of a screenplay is now impossible with these people.It is either good scripts get subjected to overstretching and butchery, or no dice. No script passes through the idumota channel intact and unscathed.

I can only tell you to be patient.New and better channels will continue to surface,producing a much more quality friendly environments in which highly talented and creative writers and moviemakers can flourish and grow.

I have tasted their bitter pills before, (to tell you the truth.) They were really bitter. Though it was from the Upper Iweka angle.

Is Idumota Synonymous to Igbos?
We are talking about business structures here and not 'a people' for God's sakes.
For your information, there are Igbo film makers that are trying to avoid Idumota and Upper Iweka, does that mean they hate their people?

Hey people stop with all this squables. A lot of you make sense. I say to hell with this MPMS (borowing from my brother multiple parts movie syndrome). Oh I just got sleep walking yesterday (Genevieve, Mercy Johnson, Ramsay & Jakie Appiah). Haven't watched it thought, I'll review it when I do
