What is most important is that the brand African cinema is going beyond African cinema.

There's always criticism in any process and I think that's a healthy thing.

Black is not a notion. Africa is not a color. Africa is a culture. So you can be pitch black and I am my color but I'm more African than you can ever be because culturally there are certain things that you just don't understand.

I think having six people all with different energies and different perceptions all working around a script is quite profound. It’s not about, oh that’s what you should be doing.

If the young filmmakers ask themselves enough questions and come up with enough answers and get the scripts tight enough.

I think it's absolutely fantastic to give the combination of the major structural element for the growth of a filmmaker. It's technical know-how, some money to get on with it, and the dream that he can always grow.
