The Nollywood Factory

Nigeria's film industry, Nollywood is the third largest producer of feature films in the world. The earliest Nollywood films were straight-to-video productions. The story is different today. Many Nollywood films receive their world premieres in British, American or Nigerian Cinemas before coming out on DVD. With an annual revenue mark approaching half a billion dollars a year, the world is seriously taking notice and Nollywood is evolving fast with film producers keen to break into wider international terrains paying more attention to not just the storylines but to the overall quality of productions -acting, cinematography, costumes, sound and effects.

The Nollywood Factory (TNF) team have been a part of the Nollywood phenomenon for more than 10 years. Based in the UK and Nigeria, TNF is set to revolutionise Nollywood feature film productions, television programmes and short films for the Nigerian and international music industry.

THE ASYLUM

Set against a backdrop of Nigeria's homicidal political system, The Asylum examines just how far politicians would go to win an election. Here an opportunistic Psychiatrist seeking more funding for his hospital employs thugs to capture mentally challenged people from the streets which uncomfortably coincides with the government's policy of ridding the streets of the menace of the insane. But then, not just the mad get captured as other social victims, including armed robbery victims find a home in the psychiatric hospital from hell. Obi Emelonye directs.
