Why I Can’t Make My Residence Available As Filming Location- Joke Silva

Veteran actress, Mrs. Joke Silva, has submitted that she can never make her residence available as a filming location.

Joke’s husband, Olu Jacobs is also a veteran actor, and the union is blessed with two children.

The veteran actress noted that she would not be comfortable with the idea of having at least 20 people  at her home  as a filming location.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned she said this during a youth development forum called, ‘The Roundtable Lekki’.

 She has also advised stakeholders in the Nigerian film industry to take a cue from American filmmaker, Tyler Perry and build ‘studios and sound stages’.

‘We shoot in apartments these days. But I won’t allow movies to be shot in my home; it won’t happen.

I know the number of people that are brought  to a filming location. There may be two people in a scene, but to shoot it, there will probably be about 20 people there. That means 20 people will put their hands on my wall, block the loo, and do other things.

We need to build our studios and sound stages, just like American filmmaker, Tyler Perry, has done. He built one of the biggest sound stages in the world. The thing with sound stages is that there are usually facades. I once shot a movie in France, but all the interior shots were taken in London, United Kingdom.

 All we did in France were the exterior shots to give the ambience of that country. Sound stages give one control. It allows one to make movies at one’s desired pace’ she said-Team@orientactualmags.com
