-

Fast rising Nigerian indie filmmaker Andrew Dosunmu known for "Hot Irons" 1999, winner of Best Documentary at FESPACO and Reel Award and critically acclaimed dramas,
"Restless City", 2011, premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, "Mother of George", 2013, which also premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and "Where Is Kyra", 2017, has praised #Nollywood for it's universal authenticity and uniqueness.

"It's very important that we have our own voice as filmmakers. What's our story? What's the style of films we make?"
Dosunmu says he admires Nollywood film-makers for that very reason.
"They have a voice. They have their own particular style. Like our literature, it's universal but it's specific.

"As a filmmaker, that's what it's about: how do I create that universal subject from our perspective and specifically with our voice?

"That's what I'm in search of, what influences me, the way stories are told orally and how does one transcend that into a visual medium?"
