Kunle Afolayan says lasting cultural value is central to the way he makes films. Punch reports that the filmmaker and KAP Film and Television Academy founder discussed his approach in a Sunday Scoop interview.
He pointed to continued interest in The Figurine and October 1 as examples of work that remains relevant years after release. Afolayan also explained that he distributes films through YouTube while believing major subscription streaming services offer different opportunities. His comments add a filmmaker’s perspective to the discussion about creative priorities and distribution in Nollywood. They should be read as his assessment of the available platforms, rather than a universal financial comparison for every producer.
