Superior
drama production is high cost and high risk. It requires a long
development period and skilled practitioners to make it. Production
costs in Nigeria are internationally very competitive but still well in
excess of local broadcaster revenue for the time slot.
Over
the years of filming activity in the country, only Nollywood has been
able to gain recognition and boost, based on individual contribution and
outside government support. Internationally, public funding support for
local television drama is commonplace in all but the largest markets.
In
this high stakes environment Nollywood has been a consistent funder of
both the development and production of movie projects. This has seen a
large number of well-received blockbusters over the years. But since the
attention divert to Nigeria’s television series sector, the country’s
television audiences have grown to appreciate and expect high quality
drama that matches or exceeds international fare.
Since
Nollywood redefined the screen business through quality effort in the
sustenance of entertainment in Nigeria homes, audience behaviour for
both local and international drama has been changing.
To
boost these on-going trends, independent producer like Dabby Chimere of
Dabz Movie Productions who supported in the building of this present
structure recently took a new drive when she entered location for the
shoot of a television series, entitled: Lies And Secret.
Ensuring
value oriented project, Dabby did not just storm the location for a
one-off production, rather she debuted with an innovating mindset that
is guided by diversity of newer ideas on how to strive, creativity and
quality production standards for the reward of viewership.
Hoping
to appeal local and international audiences, she intends championing
local content that would engage, stimulate and satisfy intended viewers.
“There should be quality and reward for viewership, even as we want to
maximize the audiences’ interest. It’s not as if we’ve not been into
this very business of production, but for the first time my company is
doing something different in the same field.
“We
will not say because it’s new then we should compromise quality, no,
but we will bring our ideas to the table where people can see it, and as
well score us for it. We just completed the first shoot, and plans are
on for airing negotiations, which very soon we will be hooking it to
best and reachable channels where viewers can enjoy it without much
stress,” she noted.
According
to Behind Nollywood’s report and ratings, her casts were meticulously
selected from each of the popular airing series, like Jenifa’s Diary,
Tinsel and few others. Not just that, wowing revelation created rooms
for the mix of Nollywood prominent faces like Daniella Okereke, Daniel
Lloyd, Uzor Arukwe and host of other professionals in the Africa’s
make-believe industry who all made individual appearances.
The entrance of Lies And Secret
into the television drama sector will be filling the gap of stories
told and written based on real life experiences. Written by Lawrita
Obioha, the storyline captures the realness of human activity as being
an everyday lifestyle for the society. However, it will help the content
in igniting the minds of viewers who will be glued to the suspense of
each revealing scenes and episodes.
