Stanley Ontop, a producer, criticizes his Nollywood colleagues for still making use of live snakes while shooting their movies.
Stanley was in the forefront when Jnr Pope died, doing everything he could to avoid his death, and is now advocating for a better working environment for Nollywood actors.
He believes that many things in the film industry are done inappropriately and advocates for change.
The producer posted a video of Sharon Ifedi, an actress, in a movie scene where she was forced to hold a live snake for a role.
He argues that this kind of acting should be stopped because there are other ways to successfully play the scene.
Stanley urged the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria to ban the use of live snakes in movies.
His post reads;
“Don’t be afraid is your friend.
Please how can a snake be someone’s friend bikonu python or a Cobra, chineke meee be my friend? Taaaaaaa!!
I think is high time Nollywood stop using live snakes to act movies. What happened to Dummy Snakes?
Calling on the president of Actors Guild Of Nigeria to ban all movies with live snakes Let’s be wise in this our business and not been selfish. I have spoken to the mum of Sharon not to allow her daughter go through this torture just because we want to make it real.
Even Hollywood which is the biggest industry in the world uses Chrome to Edith their rivers and animals. Nollywood let’s be wise and more creative
Please all producers should be careful on things given to your actor or crew members on set because if anything happens on set na you wa be produced we go hold ooooo. Let’s learn and stop back biting each others
