It is more difficult for
up-coming acts who seek fame now that it was 20 years ago, so claims of one
Nollywood’s finest, Shan George.
George who last night screened
privately her new flick-‘Grey Shadows’ attributed this to the recent
proliferation of TV stations in the country.
In her words, “When we were
starting back then, you had basically NTA channel 10, 5 and 7 and these
stations were watched by everyone who wanted to watch TV then. So it was easy
for you as an actor to be seen, because everyone watched these stations.
“However, now you have so many
stations and add to these terrestrial TV stations the several digital satellite
TVs or service providers. So what that means is that if the movie you featured
in is not aired on a particular station, nobody gets to see you. This makes it
difficult for them to become popular.”
Grey Shadow, Shan George’s latest
film after she took time off work to take care of her hailing mom was shot to
address the failure of people who emphasize religion over service to human
which true religion preaches.
The movie also features other
stars, among which are Kehinde Bankole, who won the revelation of the year award
at the 2009 Best of Nollywood Awards and Big Brother Nigeria's Gifty Powers.
