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

I prefer to discover new talent by holding open auditions.

While I was doing the residency in Paris, I found out that I was chosen as one of the five winners of the Focus Features Africa First Program. All this happened less than a year after I made my first two short films.

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.

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

As a filmmaker you make your films with the audience you want to attract in mind.
