“For the fact that we’re Africans, our stories are unique.” MaryRemmy ROKStudios Nigeria
The misrepresentation of Africa by western media has inadvertently given birth to the need for Africans to tell their own stories by themselves. The medium through which the African story can be told is as diverse as there are messengers.
The significance of Nigeria’s over 853.9 billion Naira film industry is further highlighted by the interest of foreign media giants, first in 2016 when Netflix launched its streaming service in Nigeria. And most recently, in July 2019, when French media giant, Canal+ announced their official entry into the Nigerian film market.
“As always, we keep our focus purely on ensuring amazing stories are told with passion and sincerity, by teams of super-talented African writers, actors, producers and directors. This approach to building the ROK brand has resonated with audiences across the continent, and we continue to strive to meet their needs and delight them with great content.”
Beyond this, that single negative experience gives one an outlook of how close to hopeless it is for new talents to break in to the Nigerian film industry.
