Kanayo, Bob Manuel,  Nick Rhys Screenplay: Tunde Babalola Director: Kunle Afolayan October 1 is one movie that was highly anticipated by myself and am sure a whole lot of people. I actually thought the movie was going to be basically about how Nigeria gained her Independence, but the writer proved me wrong. Ouch! I cannot wait to get into the review part *rubbing palms* it’s going to be a joy ride, for the car is set in motion. The movie is going to be thorn into parts for you to know it’s a great, good or… Bad movie. Worth the hype or not! Review: A girl runs through a dark forest scared of something unknown… well I guess that was how … wrote the teaser of October 1, what can I say, but I loved it!

The Secret to Creating Multidimensional Characters!

Characters must be three-dimensional. We hear this phrase all the time, yet there's never a corresponding blueprint or checklist for how to create a three-dimensional character. In conversation with The Hollywood Reporter's awards analyst Scott Feinberg in an episode of the THR Awards Chatter podcast, story expert Robert Mckee shares this bit of wisdom while discussing the benefits of binge watching long-form television series: "In film we talk about three dimensional characters - Tony Soprano, in my anallysis, is a 12- dimensional character; Walter White is a 16-dimensional character. If you sit there for 10 hours, watching dimension after dimension, contradiction after contradiction emerge out of this character, you see how he treats his wife one way, then he treats his friend another way, then he treats his enemy yet another way... These brilliant cast designs of these great long form series pull out consistent contradictory dimensions. That's what dimensio...
