Tswa Film Festival 2024 : The Future of Nollywood with James Omokwe, Deyemi Okanlawon & Opeyemi Ewumi

In this episode of The Naija Filmmaker, we're diving deep into the current state and future prospects of Nollywood with a special collaboration featuring the Tswa Film Festival. Our esteemed guests, including James Omokwe, Dayemi Okanlawon, and Opeyemi Ewumi, moderated by Mr. C of Iroko Critic, bring a wealth of experience from various facets of the industry—from directing and producing to marketing and distributing films.

From the allure of international projects to the imperative of establishing robust local distribution channels, our guests bring diverse perspectives to this critical conversation about building a sustainable future for Nollywood. Join us as we uncover valuable strategies and ideas to reignite the industry and propel it onto the global stage.
