YUL EDOCHIE FLOATS FILM ACADEMY

WITH the aim of inspiring young people to go into movies, Nollywood hunk, Yul Edochie has branched into movie production. This is coming a few weeks after floating his pet project; Yul Edochie Academy.

Shedding light on his original intention, the father of three and scion of actor, Pete Edocie said; “I love directing and I love teaching. As a director you have the power to teach others and bring them up to the required level. As an actor, you can only play your part and hope the movie comes out well, but as a director you have the power to make the movie come out well.

“The passion is and will always be my drive. I’m madly in love with my job. Not to worry guys, I am not leaving the screen. I just love to teach others what I know. Making our films come out better and doing what I love doing.”

He also revealed that that the first movie he directed was 10 years ago, but that he is back into it full time

“The first film I directed in Nollywood was titled Secret Pain. It was shot in 2006. However, I will be combining both acting and directing and it’s a great feeling. Though it is very stressful, it is also a rewarding experience,” he said.

The actor also debunked rumours that he was involved in a ghastly car accident in Udi, Enugu.

“I wasn’t involved in any accident. I’m fine. Facebook scammers are using it to make money. Online media platforms should learn to confirm such stories before publishing,” he added.
