Filmmaker Mildred Okwo slams Nollywood, says acting is no longer a profession

Mildred Okwo, an award winning Nollywood film producer and director, has expressed concerns at how movie producers churn out movies but have little or no financial reserves to fall back on whenever the need arises.

In this tweet, Mildred wonders how how movie actors, directors and producers run to the public for help when they fall ill despite having over 100 movies to their names.

“It’s terrible when you have 100 movies to your name but people have to contribute to send you to hospital when you fall ill. This is not an industry we are building o. People don’t have 1 million Naira saved but they have shot 10 films …? This not a profession o”, she tweeted.
