‘Not Every Movie Is Cinema-Worthy’ – Kunle Remi

Nollywood actor Kunle Remi, a gifted actor, has stated that not all films labeled as cinematic are indeed deserving of the word.

Remi revealed this in an interview with Hip TV saying that some Nigerians and filmmakers frequently mistake TV-quality movies for movies, not realizing the entire scope of what it takes to produce a really cinematic experience.

He said, “Not everybody understands what cinema is. I don’t think a lot of people understand it in the first place, that is why you have a low-budget film put in the cinemas when it’s not even cinema-worthy. And you see people come for you. There is a difference between a cinematic film and a film for TV.

“The moment Nigerians and filmmakers understand that we won’t be having this conversation. Kunle Afolayan for example, does cinema if you look at the quality of his project, the style and effort put into it are cinema. If he does TV films, he might not do so great because he is probably focused or trained to do cinema films.

“TV films are maybe cable films or online TVs and you can tell this was done in 5 days. I’m an actor and I can tell. Sometimes I’m doing a film and they tell me, it’s for the cinemas and I laugh. I know I’m not supposed to but, it’s funny.

“I can’t discourage anyone cos it might be a starting point for some people do not be angry if people come for you or movie lovers share opinions of your film or critics talk about it cos you can’t then compare it to a Hollywood Production.”

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
