Default Nollywood is evolving - 12-18-2007, 10:40 AM

They have done some phenomenal things and their audience is growing. was at an Award show for African movies this weekend in New York, and the Haitian crowd cheered (and bumrushed) the African actors a lot more than they did the Haitians (see Jamati Online | Nollywood’s Cross Over Appeal. I enjoy the Nollywood movies. I see more collaboration with the Ghanians (the big name from Ghana is Van Vicker []Jamati Online | Van Vicker - Ghana’s Sexy Leading Man who was at the awards and Nadia Bukari) so I think it isn't dead, just changing. The budget is not quite the $20,000 that it used to be (Jamati Online | This is Nollywood.

It will be good to see how the Kenyan industry takes off. We are near Zanzibar that does the ZIFF awards.
