NOLLYWOOD OF TODAY:FAVORITISM AND EYE SERVICE IS THE ORDER.

THESPIAN ITATEX 

Daddy O.: Thanks for being here today ,can we meet you sir? By the way am DADDY O reporting for babajamz.blogspot.com


Itatex : I am Excellence Itatex, An ambassador of UUC Nigeria, from Urue Offong in Akwa Ibom state. Am An Actor, script-writer,  and An Advocate for Peace.


Daddy O.: And what does UUC stands for?


Itatex : UUC simply stands for Unleash Ur Creativity


Daddy O.: And what is it all about as an ambassador  of the company??

ITATEX ON  DUTY

Itatex : I don't really get that question....

But


As an Ambassador....We represent the company, protect its image and try to give people a reason to be part of the company, we also have a part to play in sourcing for sponsorship for the company through our positive impact to the society which may lure government, groups or individual to want to partner with the company


 Daddy O.: The question is what UUC , Unleash Ur Creativity represent

VERSATILITY  IN ACTING.

Itatex : OK.


Daddy O.: Meanwhile that is not our focus tonight as we will likely elaborate on that in our subsequent time out Just a tip of what uuc is about for now will do.


 Itatex : UUC generally engulfs around Entertainment. Its a family of Film makers created or set-up by a renowned Director Emmanuel Eyaba (DGN) with a soul aim of Helping Young Talented film maker Attain greatness through camping, tutoring and As well giving them a chance to practically prove their worth through  an all expenses paid short film produced by the young film makers at the end of their 14days brainstorming tutorial classes and finally premiering and Awarding of the best shorts films and as well fitting in the Best into films festivals.


 Daddy O.: Thanks for the insight on that

Itatex : Your welcome



Daddy O.: What moment is the unforgettable one in your acting career?


Itatex : In 2014 when I first started Acting publicly.... My very first day on stage play... I had to challenge a master degree student in a role of Enusi in the play "This is our chance" by James Ene Henshaw... Its still fresh on my mind....


Daddy O.: Wow, what a moment.
Tell us what you think about the industry ? Does it really appreciate real raw talents from your experiences?

Itatex : I don't think it does anymore... If an upcoming who at this point are mostly not paid  anymore with the saying "we are helping to sell your face" are asked to pay about 50k just to get registered and afterwards opportunities are not make possible for them all because favouritism and eye service are now the order of they day, where people now pay to get roles or ask for offer one or two things in exchange for a role and roles are not on merit in most cases.... You would be forced to say that there is no hope for the young aspiring talents floating the streets and the in boxes of producers/Directors. Many have been forced into producing their films just to help themselves grow and which has added to the pains we are facing today as so many unprofessional films are all over the place and high rate in piracy...
So to me the industry still has a long way to go in the aspect of appreciating raw talents. And that`s where UUC comes to the picture, because it really set to correcting the increase most of this errors of un- professionalism in the industry.


 Daddy O.: Hmmmm,who do we look up to for solution to such challenges you've talked about?


Itatex : Well God has the solution to everything. The AGN Board at the federal level really needs to step up their games through meeting up with the demands of the huge number of raw talents floating the streets, with that the Up comers would not only be happy registering but would as well be glad that there is a package laid out for them after registration....

Daddy O.: A lot of up comers  are really groaning from few interview I had with some of them and most are really planning to quit, what çan you tell people in such category?


Itatex : Patience is Golden... I will advice them to keep on striving and doing their best in Auditions, get each other's back, call each other for jobs if any, desist from offering them selves to Producers and Directors for a role, create standard for themselves and finally have Faith and put God first In Every of their Daily Activities and marvel how they will gradually move higher the success ladder....

Daddy O.: As we draw close to the end of this time out,are you selective when it comes to acting?


Itatex : Ofcus there are things I don't do, I don't jump at any production just for the sake of filming... I select productions that I feature in and some roles that may not help me spiritually I try to avoid them too.
