Pioneering NOLLYWOOD: The Trials and the Errors (An Autoethnographic Account)
"Pioneering NOLLYWOOD: The Trials And The Errors" is a textbook documenting the novel efforts of Filmmakers who broke the creative jinx of film-making and democratized the process to enable many enthusiasts to tell their stories. The Author-Eliel Otote A. - presents an unbiased account of the development and evolution of the "Nollywood brand", from the Practitioners` point of view. And in his usual sincerity, Eliel does not fail to highlight the possible errors in the efforts.
Here is an excerpt from the book:
“Nollywood is not by magic. It is a product of evolution that has taken decades to materialize, through dint of hard work, thoughtful planning, collective efforts-trials and errors-by a few future-focused Practitioners, even in the face of distractions and detraction. And the evolution continues until it truly becomes an industry, hoping many more practitioners would drop individualism for collectivism”
