Nollywood is a genre, and not the entire Nigerian film industry.

While my work is usually about the Igbo woman experience, there are many aspects of my female characters that women everywhere can and do relate to.

It was never a deliberate decision to make films about the 'woman experience'.

The audience I'm targeting doesn't care about the language spoken in the films they watch. They're interested in more important things like story, performance, cinematography etc.

I definitely don't intend to only make films about Nigerians or Africans. I want to make films about people, any people.

Nollywood is a genre, and not the entire Nigerian film industry. However none of the 'New wave' of directors in Nigeria would know what was possible without the Nollywood model, so I'm grateful to them for showing us that our stories are of interest to people other than Nigerians. I would describe myself as a filmmaker, period.
