The 100th Commonsense Series
How time flies!
Two years ago, I began shooting the common sense messages in video format as my non partisan contribution to the development of the full strata of Nigerian society from the grassroots to the very top.
Now, after 99 episodes, we are about to shot the 100th episode.
Now, this episode is all about giving back!
God has blessed me immensely through Nigeria and by His grace I own Dream Magic Studios, one of the most modern studios on earth!
It is based in Los Angeles and used to be owned by the legendary and sometimes infamous Larry Flint from whom I bought it.
It has some of the very best sound stages the world can boast of and they can be converted into almost any scene required to make a movie.
One of my clients/tenants is Kevin Hart and the studio regularly plays host to some of the best and brightest contemporary movie and TV stars. The best always attracts the best.
To give back to Nigeria and help develop the Nollywood movie industry, I want to shoot a Nollywood/Hollywood movie that will take the world by storm and show the entertainment industry that Nigeria’s movie industry has come of age.
I will finance this movie and guarantee world wide distribution both on television and cinema.
Now, here’s where you come in.
Are you a Nollywood pro? Are you an amateur set on making it big in Nollywood and on the world stage?
Send us your script and a panel to be headed by the queen of the African movie industry, our very own Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, will rate the scripts and select the best script and I will sign a contract with the winner and make their script into a movie that will be of sufficient quality to qualify for entry into the world’s very best Film Festivals.
Who knows, you could even win an Oscar!
Send your scripts to uju@benmurraybruce.com. Let us make Nigeria’s movie industry the biggest and best in the world together!
And remember, my name is Ben Murray-Bruce and I just want to make Commonsense!

A welcome initiative. Though the Nollywood/Hollywood aspect needs some clarification: will this be a Nigerian story shot in Hollywood in collaboration with Hollywood stars (eg: Black November, 30 Days in Atlanta, Trip to Jamaica) or a diasporan themed film? I ask because a lot of those types of films are already being made (Nollywood USA) but with little or no relatability to Nigerian audiences at home. Diasporan stories rarely draw a crowd in Nigeria because they don’t always capture the essence of life in Nigeria, which one would be the priority to sell Nigeria to the world. Nevertheless, it is a welcome initiative. Furthermore, what is the criteria for the scripts being sought after as well as deadline for the entries?

This entry is a great opportunity. i have already sent mine, but share the same thought with Kpac, and that is asking if acknowledgement is sent to those who have submitted theirs, as this will clear the doubt if submission has got lost or something. Please, i need this feed back

Nice opportunity, sir the issue of gender discrimination and abuse is still prevalent in our clime and the silence approach to it remains the reason for it’s transmission down generation especially with regard to widowhood despite the political and philanthropic grandiosity.
After 24 years of it’s experience I have decided to unveil the hood. First I have taken the print media with a publication of my book “A Widow’s Window”; a chronicle life experiences of widows to which I want to take to radio and screen. I have a project on radio which I will glad if you can help make it a reality.
An average life of a widow is filled with fear, pain, shame, grieve and loneliness, it is a social issue and a forum of discuss will create interaction that can bring reprieve that helps heal to produce relieve.

Do not bother yourself, the senator made an empty promise. He never got back to those who submitted and never acknowledged receipt of our scripts. It was a wasted effort.
