Nollywood actor and producer Richard Mofe Damijo popularly known as RMD has said actors are attracted by good stories before anything else.
The actor revealed this during a panel discussion at the 2023 edition of the just-concluded Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF).
During the panel session moderated by actor, Enyinna Nwigwe, the star actor said while money may come afterwards, the first thing that gets an actor’s attention is the quality of the story.
“Actors are all suckers for good stories. Once the story is good, you have got the attention of the actor.
“If a student comes to me, I will never charge. I have done free films for students, for young producers, and for young actors. What actors want is a structure. There is nothing wrong with you calling my agent.
“If a student approaches me to star in a movie, I will even give the student money to shoot. If Enyinna Nwigwe tells me that he is working on his film, I will work with him based on the father-son relationship that we have.”
