Nollywood Producers Summit Chart Course To Global Success

The maiden edition of Nollywood Producers’ Summit brought together producers, industry veterans, government officials and international partners with a united mission to equip Nigerian movie producers with the tools and leverage on partnerships needed to thrive globally without losing our culture and authenticity.

Held at the Lagos Country Club, Ikeja, Lagos the event served as both a call to action and a blueprint for sustainable growth in Nigeria’s dynamic film industry.

National President of the Association of Movie Producers (AMP), Amb (Dr) Queen Blessing Ebigieson, speaking on the theme “Positioning the Nollywood Producer for Success: Creating Authentic Content in a Digital World,” said the theme was chosen to remind producers that content, not just profit should be at the heart of every project.

“Some producers just want to make a movie and make money, without caring about the content. But award-winning, globally appealing work comes from originality,” she stressed.

“Our streets are full of untold stories. Why should we borrow from others when we can tell our own?” The AMP president emphasized that in the digital age, producers must treat filmmaking as a business. “If you’re putting money into a movie, you have to think about getting it back. We must strategize, choose content that audiences will receive well, and plan for profitability,” she said.
