Tope who has worked in TV and Film as a Director, Producer, Actor, Dialogue Coach and Casting Director, spoke on finding and developing audience as a filmmaker.

Read excerpt;

“As a filmmaker, I think finding and developing your audience comes from the kind of work you’ve churned out over the years or time.

Like I said initially, I’m passionate about women and humanity, and finding answers to human problems. Different artistes and filmmakers have their passion lying in different places. If your audience find out that over time you’re given to making comic movies, you will then have people who’ve watched and said “I don’t like comic movies,” and they don’t watch. Then there are people that say “Oh, I like his movies, because they are always very funny.” So, overtime you tend to build your audience unconsciously."
