A leading Pro-Democracy group, Kwara Must Change has described the recently established sugar factory film studio in ilorin as an all round film production facility, with a tendency to catapult Kwara State to the center of film production in the world.
Kwara Must Change also said that the facility is of global standard as far as film production is concerned, though requires strategic marketing, exposure and target oriented operations to claim a spot in global spotlight.
This position was contained in a statement by the Creative Director of Kwara Must Change, Habeeb Bolaji Shuaib, after taking a tour of the facility and had extensive engagement with the management of the facility.
According to Habeeb, the Ilorin Sugar Factory Film Studio is really a huge enterprise of global standard as far as film production is concerned.
They have one of the best standard production facilities in Nigeria, with modern cameras, best space, tools and facilities for action films etc.
“They also have a hospital, police station, forest, school, luxurious homes, massive buildings, effect facilities and everything needed to shoot modern film of the highest standard. He said
Habeeb further stated that, the settings of the factory is excellent and it provides everything needed for a full production, adding that, all that is left is for the management of the facility to market the place strategically and give it necessary exposure to attract the best movie producers around the world.
According Habeeb, the factory also needs to specifically make it easy for indigenous content creators to leverage on the facility to increase their market share, without compromising standard.
“The more our indigenous content creators succeed in the creative space, the more the factory sustains, because when local patronage is high, more wealth is created and retained in the state, thereby expanding our economy”.
Habeeb concluded that, the Ilorin Sugar Factory Film Studio should be made busy all the time.
“Once the place is busy producing regularly, it is destined to become a success story “
