“There is no place in Nigeria like Tinapa. The scenic view is awesome, you can’t ask for better. You can make a lot of movies here. There is a studio and an airport,” Ude said on the Friday edition of the programme.
She stressed that there were investment opportunities in the place. “There is need for more studios and other facilities for movie making,” she said.
Ude spoke to Channels at the 2013 African International Movie Festival holding in Tinapa Resort.
The event is a world class piece that presents a complete immersion into the world of film making with participation from local and international filmmakers and professionals, celebrities, actors, directors, film critics, buyers, distributors, visual artists, film students, amateurs, equipment manufacturers, and international press.
It is organised to raise awareness in Africa about the vast potential the entertainment industry holds and the impact it can generate in the economy.
Chioma Ude, who is the organiser of the festival, stressed that the event had exposed movie makers to what Tinapa had to offer.
The seven days event, which will end on November 16, is the third edition of the Africa International Film Festival.
