Nollywood Princess Bubemi talked about her passion for "Ishan movies"

            Princess Bubemi




I am Princess Bubemi, a Nigerian actress and writer. I started acting and producing Ishan language movies in 2010. I write scripts and I have written more than 20 both in English and Ishan language in the last 3 years.

I have written scripts for Nollywood and featured in a number of movies such as Mending the Maid, Death Wish and so on.





You are now trying to delve into full Nollywood production, what prompted your choice?

My zeal is to promote our Ishan culture that was why I started my production from edo state because the Ishan industry is not as large as the Yorubas or igbos.

I have always had a strong passion for acting , So I have always known that I will be back fully though I have been off and on for a while I just decided to take my acting career ambition more serious, this time around am not going anywhere.

You are well known when it comes to Benin movie production but how come that part of the industry is not as pronounced compared to Igbo movies?

Well the igbos have been in the game longer than the benins so definitely it's expected that their industry will be more pronounced as you have said,  thats why I started my production from there because I wanted to promote our Edo culture, and our language should also be heard.and  If more people start making more Edo movies then before u know it the industry will be as popular as the Yoruba and igbo industry, am happy that there are so many movies Dropping now from the Edo people and very soon we will get there.

Can we get to know more about your personality and why you decided to venture into movie production?
Well I can say am a very easy going person,  am very straight forward, never afraid to speak my mind, am blunt very respectful friendly and God fearing.

I ventured into movie production because I knew I had a talent the world needs to see. I started by writing scripts then I decided it will be better I start making my own movies, so that was when I started producing and since then I have been writing more scripts and I intend to make more movies.

It is believed that there is no money in Nollywood, how have you been able to pull through and keep writing and producing at the same time?

That's what people say but money wasn't the reason why I joined the movie industry so I don't put that forward, if eventually I start making my millions It will be because of my hard work. I pulled through because God was on my side,  I can't say it was easy writing and making my own movies but I have no regret so far.

Which celebrity in the industry gave you tough time or head ache to work with?

Well no one actually has giving me tough time,  I have been very lucky to have worked with very nice and kind actors that have encouraged me to do better.

Who is your most highly paid actor/actress in the industry you have worked with?

None that I can think of.

Why do you think cinema movies are doing well compared to movies made for the streets (Alaba movies)?

Any good job will certainly do well ,either alaba or cinema as long as it a good job.

Do you think that people still buy Nollywood movies compared to some years back when we had shops where movies were rent out but today not much in existence?
Of course yes, people still buy nollywood  movies.

Some Nigerians believe that Nollywood is not yet close to what Hollywood is doing?

Lol but we are really trying our best to be close to Hollywood and I believe if we get the support we need we will get there Some day.

How many movies have you done so far and outside movies, what else are you into?

I cant really say for now because  some of the jobs I have done are not out yet but the ones that are in the market now should be more than ten (10), apart from nollywood I have other business am into , cosmetics clothing and other things
