“Nollywood is a genre, and not the entire Nigerian film industry. However none of the 'New wave' of directors in Nigeria would know what was possible without the Nollywood model, so I'm grateful to them for showing us that our stories are of interest to people other than Nigerians. I would describe myself as a filmmaker, period.” PeopleKnowsStoriesFilmInterestIndustryPeriodsDirectorsModelsGratefulWaveGenreFilmmakerNigeriaFilm IndustryDescribe Myself Author:Chika Anadu
