JOHN CHUKWUDI - THE FUTURE OF NOLLYWOOD!


HELLO THERE,

Swit Summer Blog constantly brings you exclusive interviews of wonderful characters in the entertainment industry. People, who have, with their personality only sort to promote entertainment in Africa, Nigeria. Putting the ever growing Nollywood industry in the map and Taking it to outstanding heights in the world today.

We have recently met another fine one and bring you the interview without any delay.

Remember to comment as always.



Tell us a little bit about your self?

My full names are John Chukwudi Enuesike. I am from Ndokwa East LGA of Delta State Nigeria. A twin from a Catholic family of 5. God fearing, discipline, hardworking and a Psychologist. John Chukwudi is  a Thespian, Nollywood Actor, Producer, Director and Writer. Simply put, am a film maker.

How long have you been acting?

I basically started from the stage in 1995, joined the Catholic Dramatic Society CDS in Warri Delta state,  where after 3years became the Artistic Director and proceeded to study Acting and Film Productions with the Delta Joint Films Project DJFP. Thence began my career professionally in 1999 with "My Joseph" as my first movie and Cotonu visa" where I played along side Johnbull (Junior Jagua) and Frances Edega. Immediately after that, I  produced my first movie "Passion of Saint Monica" a Catholic movie directed by Peter st Paul.
                   
We understand that you are also skilled in movie directing as well, please can you tell us how you started and give us a few names of movies you have been involved in so far?                     

I started directing in 2010 with a TV Drama series "The leaf Eater" produced by ABN. Word of Life Bible Church. "Just once"a campus movie, "The Secret" and just concluded indigenous comedy movie "Mr. Billy" produced by Miah Uwem.

What do you think about the new generation actors compared to the former?
I see the new crop of Actors as the future of Nollywood, while those you regard as former are the foundation on which Nollywood stands. Thus, its like father and son. "The young shall grow" so they say, and every father prays that their children should be better than them..that is to say the future of Nollywood ( new generation Actors ) is brighter still with the support of the  Legends of Nollywood.



What are the challenges you're facing as an actor?

Well, challenges are part of life and propelling factor to greatness. So as an Actor challenge of getting a good job, the opportunity to show what you are made of is one...Been appreciated is another. Major characters or prominent roles are always giving to "big names" relegating the Younger Actors to back bench. Though some producers and directors love promoting and working with young talented Actors. But in general I must say, it’s been God.

What can new actors do before embarking on a mission to fame?

Know what you want; learn what you want, be the best at what you want... Finally and most importantly, always pray for what you want and be ready for the opportunity when it comes knocking.  



ANY LAST WORDS FOR YOUR FRIENDS AND FANS?

Thanks for your support, love and prayers. You've all been my motivators and strength. Expect the best from me and I promise never to disappoint you. God bless you all, my family, my Papa's in the Lord, friends, relatives, and most importantly, my Fans I love you all.

GIFT BOYO - THE NOLLYWOOD STORY

GIFT BOYO TAKES US THROUGH THE STORY SO FAR IN NOLLYWOOD




 



Nollywood has grown so big and has become a house hold name with a lot of advancements and achievements to it's name.
Grown from the point, where we only had few actors like Kenneth Okonkwo, Clem Ohameze, Genevieve Nnaji, Richard Mofe Damijo, Jim Iyke, Emeka Ike, Liz Benson, Regina Askia Pete Edochie, Olu Jacobs, Sam Loco,  till the point where everyone's got atleast an actor in his or her family.

Well, Swit Summer Blog caught up with one of the most talented Nollywood - International actress/producer of our time Gift Boyo, so we could chitchat a bit about Nollywood and the major advancements she has put in so far.

Enjoy!




How many sections of Nollywood do we have now?

I know about Nollywood UK. Nollywood France. Nollywood Germany, Nollywood America and Nollywood Ghana. I think there are lots more scattered all around the world but it’s all the same


Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how it has been so far?

Well, I joined Nollywood officially in 1997 and have featured in a lot of movies over time but in 2004, I relocated to the UK. I joined Nollywood UK in August 2014 after a very long break.





Can you mention a few of those movies/tv series that you have featured in, and how it all began?

I started from stage acts like most professionals and since then I’ve been featured in a lot of movies.
I featured in “Things Fall Apart” as one of the dancers, “Chike & Ngozi” in school stage shows.
My first main Nollywood movie was “Critical Decision”, then “Super Woman 1 & 2, “Beautiful Faces 1 & 2, “Price of Hatred 1 & 2, “First Commandments 1 & 2, “Jaws of Death” 1 & 2, “Mirror in the Sun” and many more like that, before I relocated to the UK.
In the UK I have featured in “Oga Detective”, “Murderer inlaw”, “The Lower Cut”, "Drag him to the altar" and many more.


Tell us about your challenges, as a pioneers of Nollywood.

We really suffered while building up Nollywood. We gave our all. We would walk from Festac town to National Theatre because we had no money.
We struggled a lot to make it work. I remember Emeka Ani and I walking half way from Festac to Surulere with Ejike Asiegbu, Lancelot imaseun, Emeka Duru.

I was just a young girl then and I used to hide away in Emeka Ani s video shop in Surulere waiting for audition time because we had challenges with molestation from male directors.
 



Besides movies, what else do you do?

I’m a nurse and a health worker here in the UK. I studied Health & Social Care in the University.
I am a social activist, who believes in the love for all. And I detest abuse especially abuse on women. I’m also a member of WAR (Women against Rape).


What current projects ARE you working on and how do you intend to give back to the society?

I just recently wrapped up shoot on “The Lower Cut” movie and I’m currently working on my own movies alongside. I’m grooming young, talented actors so I can showcase them to the world also.

 SO HOW CAN YOUR FANS REACH YOU?

HOW TO SHOOT A GOOD MUSIC VIDEO

Everyone keeps watching music videos on air and enjoying them not understanding the difficulties and challenges involved in directing and producing one.

So this week, gospel rap artist now turned music producer/video director Morris Sam aka Xcadoba Xcalante gives us some insight into music video production.
 

Most up and coming musical artist thinks shooting a GOOD music video only consist of pointing an expensive camera and shooting the subject but it's quite different and more complicated than they think.

First of all, a lot should be considered before you embark on a music video project.

1. Your Music
2. Your concept/idea
3. Your budget

 


1. YOUR MUSIC
A good song usually is a good way to start the process of shooting a classical video. If the song is right, you would have gained atleast 50% of the listeners attention in the promotional stage even before you shoot a good visual for the song.
So always make sure you have a good song of whatever genre you decide. By the way, genre refers to musical style you sing such as jazz, r&b, hip hop, salsa, rock etc.
Also remember to write meaningful songs and not just junk because the type of audience you get is mostly defined by the amount of sanity you have in your music.


2. YOUR CONCEPT/IDEAS

The first thing that pops into your head soon as you conceive the idea of making a track (song) usually might not be the best idea for your song, but it's a good way to start planning the concept for the music.


3. YOUR BUDGET
Now this is the tricky part, you could create a really good concept and not have the finance to actualize it. So when creating a concept, please have at the back of your mind, your financial support. There is no point of writing a concept, where you sing in a private jet or go jet skiing with your girl when you know you haven't got such finance.
It's usually better to keep it tight and simple if your funding isn't all that.
 


So back to me, I want to encourage you all, also to read up on cameras and equipment and go online to check out what most of these cameras do before you start dictating to the director the type of camera you want to be used in shooting your video.

Most DSLR cameras will get the job done, but I'll go more into that in my next article.
