Veteran Nollywood actress, Joke Silva has explained why she does not see shooting of movies happening in her house at any point in time.
The veteran stated this during a youth development forum ‘The Roundtable Lekki’. According to Joke Silva, movies shooting involve a large number of people, and she wouldn’t want that many people in her space.
The thespian stressed the importance of having studios and sound stages in Nollywood, which would provide suitable environments for filming movies.
“We shoot in apartments these days. But, I won’t allow movies to be shot in my home; it won’t happen.
“We need to build our studios and sound stages, just like American filmmaker, Tyler Perry, has done. He built one of the biggest sound stages in the world.
The thing with sound stages is that there are usually facades. I once shot a movie in France, but all the interior shots were taken in London, United Kingdom.
All we did in France were the exteriors shots to give the ambience of that country. Sound stages give one control. It allows one to make movies at one’s desired pace,” She said.
