Nollywood actress Wunmi Toriola has clarified that her decision to venture into YouTube filmmaking was driven by growth rather than any issues with movie marketers.
Speaking in a chat with The Nation, the actress debunked speculations that she left the traditional film distribution system due to unpleasant experiences with marketers.
“For me, I didn’t have any issues with marketers. It was just growth that made me venture into YouTube movies. Personally, I’ve not had any bad experience with any marketer. It’s growth that has come to play, not more of their attitude actually,” she said.
Toriola, known for her dynamic roles in Yoruba cinema, further emphasized that both cinema and YouTube remain viable platforms for filmmakers.
“Both cinema and YouTube are profitable, and I’d go for both,” she added.
