Abuja Film Industry Needs Infrastructure and Collaboration

Sam Idiagbonya, chairman of Fedmas Studios, highlighted the necessity for enhanced infrastructure, funding access, technical training, and collaborative efforts to unlock Abuja’s film industry potential. He emphasized that creative talents require platforms to showcase work, attract investment, and engage global markets.

Idiagbonya noted Lagos holds Nigeria’s commercial filmmaking advantage due to its distribution networks and industry access, yet Abuja filmmakers can produce universally appealing stories to compete internationally. He stressed that films must resonate beyond local boundaries to attract diverse audiences.

The filmmaker stated, 'Earth is my market,' underscoring the need for films with universal themes that appeal to global audiences rather than regional limitations.
