“I Wish There Were More Film Villages ”: Daniel Olaoluwa on What It Takes to Build Nollywood Stronger
I mean, filmmaking as a craft on its own is basically solving problems—challenges each day on set. It’s challenging in post-production and all that. But in the grand scheme of things, what are the major challenges apart from funding? I would say education because most of us in the industry—or most of the people on set or in post—are people who more or less learn on the job.
At the Series Mania Festival, 30 African delegates, including producers, distributors, broadcasters, and other industry professionals, gathered in Lille, France, to foster new partnerships and discover emerging talent. Among these delegates were ten Nigerian representatives: Mimidoo Bartel, Chioma Ude, Zulumoke Oyioba, Daniel Olaoluwa, Enyi Omeruah, Blessing Uzzi, Moses Babatope, Onome Ifeanyi, Chioma Onyenwe and Kunle Afolayan.
In our exclusive Series Mania Interviews, we spoke with several Nigerian delegates to explore the state of Nollywood on the global stage, the perception of Nollywood worldwide, the cultural exportation of Nigerian cinema, and Nollywood’s relationship with Artificial Intelligence, among other related topics.
Our third conversation is with Daniel Olaoluwa, who serves as the Head of Marketing and Audio Engineer at Terra Kulture, where he has produced numerous radio jingles and theme songs for both Terra Kulture and BAP Productions. His expertise extends to film and stage productions, having worked as a sound designer, music composer, ADR engineer and music producer. Daniel is an AMVCA nominee.
