Genevieve has finally reacted to an interview she supposedly granted Punch in which she called Nollywood Bland and mediocre.The statement attracted heavy criticism from industry players..Reacting on her instagram page, the screen goddess said....
"I never called my industry bland and
mediocre. Truth or not, they were NOT MY WORDS. As a person/writer, you
can "assume" what you like about my thought process but DO not project
those thoughts as "quotes" by me. It's distasteful, insensitive and
quite unprofessional. It's insulting to those limited few working hard
to make a difference in the industry. I am a product of Nollywood and my
loyalty remains unshaken."
Incase you missed the interview,when asked why she hadn't been in movies recently,she reportedly said
“I guess I haven’t found the right
script yet. Creativity and depth are the qualities that I look out for
in a script. In the beginning, the movie industry emphasised quantity
but things are changing and there is an improvement in trend. I am among
the people who advocate for the improvement of the industry. So said, I
am constantly watching out for the kind of stories I take part in. I am
in support of movies that show a great deal of professionalism and
creativity. Having practiced my art in international &
professionally produced stories like ‘Ije’; ‘Mirror boy;’ and ‘Tango
with me’, I don’t think I can return to the blandness and mediocrity
that characterized Nollywood in the past.”
