Mary Njoku, the Nigerian actress, has questioned the benefits of being a member of Nollywood guilds and associations.
In a recent Instagram post, the 39-year-old movie producer said a budding filmmaker asked her about the advantages of joining these guilds, but she struggled to provide a clear answer.
Mary asked her followers to help outline the benefits of joining Nollywood guilds and associations, with supporting evidence.
“A budding filmmaker asked me ‘what are the benefits of being part of Nollywood guilds and associations?’ and I’m struggling to give a clear answer. Can someone help outline the benefits with supporting evidence?,” she wrote.
According to the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), there are 22 approved Nollywood guilds and associations, including the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and the Theatre Arts and Motion Picture Practioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN).
Njoku gained fame after featuring in the popular Nollywood blockbuster ‘Blackberry Babes’ in 2011.
She is the founder of ROK Studio, a movie production firm established in 2013.
In 2019, she oversaw the acquisition of ROK by CANAL+, marking the largest international deal to date for a Nollywood brand.
The company has produced several movies and series, including ‘Festac Town’, ‘Single Ladies’, ‘Body Language’, ‘Losing Control’, and ‘Husbands of Lagos’.
The actress is married to Jason Njoku, the CEO of Iroko TV.
