Veteran Nollywood actress Clarion Chukwura, mother of popular video director Clarence Peters spoke to Vanguard recently about her disappointment with today's Nollywood.
When asked about the industry today, she said:
When asked about the industry today, she said:
"It hasn’t improved at all. It is now a proverbial ‘ state’ that makes one to weep. Everything has fallen to a disgraceful state. No standards are left. I was on a location in Enugu last month and the production manager was insulting the director of photographer. I was shocked.
The producer and the director were shouting at each other. I could not imagine it. The artistic director would just walk away and actors are not directed on what to do. Any green horn could hit the set and believe that she could sleep her way to the top. She is pretty and sleeps with the Executive Producer. It’s just sickening. And they say to you, this movie is meant for the market and the cinema. It is not for film festival, just do it anyhow because this is for inside the market. That goes to show there are no standards. It is pathetic."
The actress further lost her cool when asked : Are you not thinking of marriage?
Give me a break.Please don't ask.Don't go there. Please spare me. She said.
