In episode 132 I have a great discussion with Shola Ajayi. Shola is an instructor at Ithaca College in upstate New York. She founded UR4Africa as a filmmaker after her experience filming in Lagos. We discuss Nollywood, New Nollywood and making movies with mobile phones.

Some things we discuss:

  • What is Nollywood and New Nollywood
  • Storytelling is part of culture
  • How we’re missing stories from elders in our communities, and homes
  • Supply and demand for filmmakers in Nigeria
  • Why filmmakers need to write
