To improve Nollywood Movies in terms of distribution and production, the government has been urged to support Nollywood movie projects that would equally add to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP. 

Speaking during a media parley in Lagos, Executive Director, Sky Film Distribution, Mr. Macauley Akaniyene, insisted that the approach to film distribution and re-inventing the Cinematic experience in the industry cannot be over emphasis saying: “Co-ownership, cooperation and proper funding is key to producing movies of the next level. Skyfilms already have chains of Cinimas across the country that movie makers can leverage on.”

He called on the government bodies to support funding of movie projects, which in return would add to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP, saying “It’s a sure way of taking the industry to heights never before imagined.
