Looking for the newest movies, buzz around top actors, or a chance to work behind the scenes? You’ve landed on the right spot. Nollywood is churning out films faster than any other market in Africa and there are plenty of ways to get involved, whether you’re a fan or an aspiring professional.
This year’s biggest hits include gritty dramas that tackle social issues and high‑octane action flicks that rival Hollywood blockbusters. Directors are experimenting with streaming platforms, giving audiences instant access to fresh content. Keep an eye on titles like “The Last Harvest” and “City of Dreams”; they’re pulling in big numbers on local services.
Actors such as Genevieve Nnaji and Timini Egbuson continue to dominate the scene, drawing fans from across the continent. Social media is buzzing with behind‑the‑scenes clips, so following their accounts can give you a sneak peek at upcoming projects.
If you want hands‑on experience, many production houses and streaming services now offer internship programmes. These placements usually last three to six months and cover everything from script development to on‑set assistance. Look for listings on our African Internship News portal – we regularly post vetted opportunities that match your study background.
When applying, showcase any media projects you’ve done, even small student films. A strong portfolio can set you apart because production teams value practical skills over just academic credentials.
Networking is key. Attend local film festivals, virtual Q&A sessions, or industry webinars hosted by Nollywood veterans. You’ll meet people who can recommend you for a spot or even bring you on board as a freelance assistant.
Don’t forget to brush up on basic crew roles – lighting, sound, and camera basics are always in demand. Even if you start as a coffee runner, you’ll quickly learn the workflow and move up faster than you think.
