So I decided to do a monologue from Charles Uwagbai blood of enogie series with my pet rabbit actor Chelsea 😏(don't ask). Hope you like it? I'll appreciate your criticisms to help improve as an actor. And also like and retweet and tag producers. My next job may be a TL away

People lie, only money tells the truth.

🚨 All flights in and out of London cancelled after a huge dust cloud erupted when Arsenal opened their trophy cabinet to put the Premier League trophy.

He woke up different, stronger, and completely out of control.
Reborn hits hard from the very first scene.

Writing fiction is fun because you can transfer your trauma to your main character and act like it has absolutely nothing to do with you.

After the premiere of The Trade, I got chatting with producers. I asked them why they didn’t just let Eric get away? He was the perfect villain. You’re rooting for him.

Guess what they replied? Nigeria and Nigerian board restrictions.

Another time, I was cast for a movie that ended being cancelled because the NPF refused to approve how the script portrayed them. It was either they shot it without NPF which was the soul of the plot (ie use any other uniform that doesn’t suggest the NPF, what’ll be the point?), or not shoot at all. They canceled.

The Nigerian creative industry is not just restricted by “obvious” factors… there’re things that go on behind the scenes that greatly stifle ideation.

In the movie Top Gun, the US Navy provided them access to the Ranger aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and ACTIVE-DUTY military pilots to perform the aerial stunts.

In Transformers, the production received massive logistical support. They provided them with helicopters, Raptors, and actual military bases to use as filming locations.

In Ironman, Marvel Studios was granted access an air force base and actual military aircraft to film the scenes where Tony Stark's experimental suit clashes with the US Air Force.

To mention but a few.

But in Nigeria, if you wear Camo as a civilian, you’ll witness wonders.

The state of this nation affects EVERYTHING. It ruins things in ways you can’t begin to imagine until you have skin in it.

You go outside to shoot, you have to deal with street louts. You have a script that touches major sectors, and you’ll have to seek approvals upon approvals, or risk your movie been banned after release.

If this series even remotely refers to a particular national body, and the plot becomes too real, it’ll only take one person who feels attacked to can it.

These people are not stupid. They’re also navigating Nigeria like everyone else.

Let’s be kinder with our criticism.

[Bruno Fernandes @B_Fernandes8]

This is not mine. This is yours. This is ours.

From all the players, staff and everyone involved in the club, to you guys who supported us every single day of the season.

Grateful for your love and support ❤️

[Shedo king 𓃵 @shedosmoof]

Bruno record is the hardest among all three. Not to take away anything from the other 2 players.

Kdb got 2 assists with prime City & Aguero

Henry got it with prime Arsenal

Bruno has done it with all these missed chances & with Amorim playing him cdm half the season.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.

Ownership quietly became renting.

A great among greats.

That's our Bruno ⭐️

[Taiwo O Egunjobi @Tai_Egunjobi]

Please watch films if you're trying to be a director, this is almost more valuable than asking to be mentored by everyone.

If you don't know what to watch , you can start with the Sight and Sound 100 list. Your film schools are great but watch films.

spoke all the English i sabi pitching my debut feature at Cannes today with @blessinguzzi. glory to the most high for this moment. may the right people find us. 🙏🏾

[GlazedLens @MealdredO]

I can’t stand people who treat acting like something just to be used to get popular. I loooove career actors. People who love the craft beyond instagram …. That’s why I had the liver to cast certain kind of actors. I am looking forward to my next phase so much

You know that famous Denzel quote “if you pray for rain, you have to deal with the mud too” ? I’ve been thinking about it lately. Sometimes the things we want the most in life bring us the most problems. Have to be ready for all of it. I hope whoever is reading this can relate.

Watched Michael yesterday and I can understand why critics said it felt empty.

There’s definitely more to Michael Jackson than “I just wanna be my own man”.

It was definitely entertaining, felt like being at a concert. I wish the film had more depth but I don’t mind this one.

Btw, Bohemian Rhapsody is the better biopic.
