What does a Nigerian scholar-filmmaker report about Nollywood storytelling and production methods in the platform era, and what does the source not cover?
A 2024 study by a filmmaker-researcher compares seven Nollywood video films from 1993-2001 with four digital-era remakes (2019-2022): the remakes adopt classical Hollywood narrative techniques and better production values for a global audience while keeping the originals' themes (quick wealth, crime, greed), and the industry keeps its informal production context. It concerns Nigeria and platforms, not day-to-day writing practice or oral tradition.
