Entertainment: 'We are cultivating a cinema culture and we cannot do it without our audience' - Rita Dominic

A few days ago, veteran Nollywood actress Rita Dominic
voiced her opinion on the state of the Nigerian film
Industry and the cinema culture saying, 'not every movie
is cinema worthy'.


Her statement sparked a wide range of reactions and
counter reactions and now she's responded to all the
comments saying, 'I have heard you as a producer. I will
do better. I have never been one not to listen to
constructive criticism so it is to my advantage to listen
again'.

Read her full post below...

Hello Fam! I wanted to post a video but it was
too long so I opted for a long post. A couple of
days ago I posted a quote to motivate active
members of my beloved industry. You decided to
build a nice big table there, gathered us on top
and shook it till we all had to pay attention.


It became apparent rather quickly that you have
been fed up for a while. Guess what!! I have
heard you!I have heard you as an actor. I have
heard you as a producer. I will do better. I have
never been one not to listen to constructive
criticism so it is to my advantage to listen again.

Thanks to the colleagues who called me, tweeted,
sent messages and even braved commenting
while the table was shaking vigorously.
Glad you understood the intention of my post.

 We
are cultivating a cinema culture and we cannot do
it without our audience. They have spoken and I
have a better grasp of their frustrations. It is a
positive thing to have our consumers emotionally
invested In our films.

I want to request that our
viewers not give up on going to the cinemas to
support films. If a film is good encourage the
filmmakers by telling others to see it.


You have an important role to play in the
development of the Nigerian film industry and you
have taken the first steps by letting your voices
be heard. You can now stop shaking the table so
we can get down to make better films for you.
