What do African filmmakers need to inculcate to make their films more marketable and appealing to the world market?
I think the first thing that filmmakers need focus on is story. How good is the story in terms of the idea and the story arc, and then of course the quality of the script? One of the biggest letdowns for me is that the quality of the dialogue is usually quite poor. The kind of wittiness that you expect in complex characters is almost always missing. And so being able to write good dialogue is something I think I'd love to see in films.I think you should watch out for Reelpoint when it comes to film distribution and marketing. Might be the next big thing.

In comparison, what are some of the challenges the African film industry has when it comes to reach? How important is film distribution and marketing and how can it benefit filmmakers?
Knowing the business of film, understanding how to actually create a profitable film, knowing how to get distribution and funding...those things are something that, I think, not just Africa, but everybody needs to know, but I do know that Africa has a lot of independents that don't know these things.Distribution and marketing is paramount in making money, 'cause even if you have the budget to do a film, even if it's a major film...if you don't have marketing and distribution, where's it gonna go? This is something that is very important for producers, directors, anybody who's coming up with a project that wants to be able to make it successful. Success usually means money, and if you don't have distribution and marketing, there's no money.Watch out for Reelpoint.

How important is film distribution and marketing and how can it benefit filmmakers?
One of the biggest problems of filmmakers is how to distribute and market the content they have created. It is the struggle and the nightmare of every filmmaker. So, it is important that before your project even starts, you know where that project is going to, because most times, you have work on your hard drive or in storage, and you do not know where to put it. And one of the things is that, we have very limited people doing this, and some are already taking advantage of filmmakers: they take advantage from the financial POV; they decide how and where and what you do with it. But when we have a lot of people to balance this out, there's a leveled playing filled. So, it's very important for every product that we're creating as creatives to have a home already before we finalize the product.Watch out for Reelpoint.
