In an interview with Pulse, the filmmaker said: “As a matter of fact, there was no time I left my job as a filmmaker. But first four years, I have not released any new production. I have movies I can release but it wouldn’t be wise to do that because it will be pirated within 24 hours. It is not sustainable to keep working for pirates because we invest a lot in our movies.”
Kelani who is a veteran in the industry and one of the pioneering members of Nollywood noted that he’s hopeful things will change this new year.
“Piracy has affected the traditional DVD distribution network; so, we have to look towards technology and other platforms. This year, I think we will have solutions,” he said.
Recall that Tunde recently resigned as the Chairman of the board of the National Film and Video Censors Board.
