Nollywood actress Debbie Shokoya has voiced her disapproval of her colleagues who created unacceptable, low-quality films for the massive streaming service YouTube.
The outcry against Nollywood films on YouTube, particularly the Yoruba film, prompted Debbie Shokoya to grieve.
On Instagram, the new mother expressed her mind against those who produced movies all for the sake of production.
She decried the rate at which people condemn the Youruba film genre and how she was able to confirm the accusations. She encouraged her colleagues to change the narrative about the Yoruba industry and allow Evry department for their job.
Debbie advocated for the crew of a movie production explaining the need for them to function effectively. She further asked each crew member to function according to their department.
“I Am Tired When I Hear People Say I Don’t Watch Yoruba Movies
At The End…I Get To See The Reason Behind That Statement!
Let’s Be Honest, It’s Not Their Fault
Please Let’s Change This Narrative
Allow Every Department Do Their Job!
You Can’t Do Everything Please
Don’t Be Pressured To Become A Storyteller If Your Strength Is In Acting Alone…
There Are People Whose Strength Is In This Line, Reach Out To Them
And Please, If You Are A Director (Please Direct!!)
That’s Why You Are On That Set…
How Come You Can’t Call Your Actors To Order When The Acting Isn’t It Or It’s Overdone?
Infact Some Comedy And Conversations In Some Movie Scenes Are Not Just Necessary And Been Prolonged…
This Is One Of The Job Of The Director To Know These Things And Correct Them!
It Is Your Direction, Please Do It Right
Please
We Can Do Better
Ejor”.
