Now, while there are Nollywood films available on Netflix, none of them is a Netflix film and were acquired after their cinema run. Netflix has specific standards for what qualifies as a Netflix Original in their delivery specifications. While we celebrate Ms Nnaji’s achievement, it should not be assumed as an automatic open door flung for all of Nollywood. If Nollywood producers are to tap in the global market and get those foreign dollars, our technical standards must be raised. It says it’s possible for a Nigerian film (100% cast and crew) to get such a deal outside of popular local platforms – Nigerian cinema exhibition, Iroko TV and DSTV.
