Yoruba Nollywood was built on culture, dont trade it for clout Mr Latin tells colleagues
Mr Latin said the industry is growing with the help of its pathfinder, but challenged his colleagues to continue to be original in their storytelling and production.
As Nollywood continues to gain global recognition, veteran actor Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr Latin, passionately emphasises that the industry is built on an African cultural legacy that must be cherished and preserved.
Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES, Mr Latin said Yoruba Nollywood consistently reminds people about their roots.
The filmmaker said: “Like I used to clamour, a few years ago, we must bring back history so our new generation can know about our legacy. African storytelling is one of the best things that happens to us. It makes people remember their roots, learn more about their culture, and understand our dos and don’ts.“
Speaking on his efforts to merge culture with filmmaking, the comic actor said he has always advocated for film production that connects audiences to their roots.
