Over the years, Blessing Egbe has carved a niche for herself as a filmmaker to be reckoned with. Blessing who has produced movies like Lekki Wives, Two brides and a paper said being behind the scene is more lucrative than being in front of the camera.
Hear her:”Being behind the scene is more lucrative because we have not yet begun to appreciate our actors enough and it is because the purchasing power of films and television series are not high. Actors have to do a lot to get more. But with producers, a movie can earn you a lot of money.
“Once the purchasing power for creative content is high, then things would be better. The purchasing power in Nigeria is dropping instead of increasing, agents are dropping prices and to me, it is crazy because we are spending more money to make films. What I pay actors and my crew members is higher than what it used to be. I increase everyone’s fee but the buyers of my content are decreasing and this is appalling. I am still in business because this is what I love to do and at the end of the day, one can still get small profit and stay relevant in the movie industry.”
