Femi Adebayo, a Nollywood actor and producer, has announced that he plans to make a sequel to his first film as a director, ‘Seven Doors’.
He released the six-part miniseries in December 2024. The show received several nominations and won awards at Nollywood film events, such as the Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards and the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
During an interview on VJ Adams Live, Adebayo shared his plans and talked about how he makes films. He said that he watches his earlier movies when getting ready to create new ones.
He explained that he is rewatching ‘Seven Doors’ to prepare for the sequel. He also reads both positive and negative feedback on his films to find ways to improve.
“I watch my movies after they’ve been released, especially when I want to produce another one. For instance, before I produced the sequel to ‘Jagun Jagun’, I watched the original, same as ‘Ageshinkole’. Now I’m planning to do a sequel to ‘Seven Doors’, so I keep watching the original to do better,” he said.
“I also go to read people’s comments, good or bad, on my movies because it helps me decide what to do better.”
