You could have died out of that stress; he might have saved you,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not saying government should give Adjeteyfio money; no! All I\u2019m saying is that, get structures in place, make sure things are working, invest in what we are doing\u2026 I\u2019m sure we can buy a house, live right, we don\u2019t have to buy a taxi for our sons,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe industry has not been consistent with how much filmmakers are being paid\u2026 The passion was big but if it was paying and was consistent, then I\u2019d have stayed in it through and through so it has become a side business,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstand your own family, your responsibilities. You cannot keep sitting and waiting for an industry that is still trying to make it. If there\u2019s another way of making money, I\u2019d advise you to try and do it. It really takes away the focus sometimes but it\u2019s also important for you to live, it\u2019s essential that you must take care of your family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not say that the movie industry will not plateau; it will. I believe so from my heart. I see that coming very soon. The people at the National Film Authority understand what they\u2019re doing, there is also the Classification Board\u2026 we\u2019ve got great stories to tell.
