Glamour Girls: Charles Okpaleke Addresses Film Critics In New Statement
Charles Okpaleke, the founder of the movie production company, Play Network Studios has addressed critics of the newly released re-make of the 1994 classic, Glamour Girls.
In the recently published five paragraph statement on his Instagram page, Okpaleke clapped back at “proclaimed Nollywood filmmakers and critics” for their underwhelming reviews.
His statement reads;
Shoutout to all Nollywood filmmakers constantly going through the nightmare of making movies in Nigeria.
You guys are a blessing and an inspiration
The statement reads further;
A huge shoutout to the other self-proclaimed Nollywood filmmakers and critics, who have produced numerous movies in the heads, won awards with them and even climbed the stage to make speeches, but are yet to produce any in reality. We see you, we are rooting for you! A win for one is a win for all
Okpaleke did not hesitate to acknowledge those who ‘constructively criticized’ the movie.
He also wrote about the impressive numbers the movie has amassed since it’s debut.
He wrote;
It has really been exciting reading a lot of the reviews for Glamour Girls over the last couple of days.
Your positive feedback and constructive criticism gives us the motivation to keep doing more, to keep doing better. Thank you for loving, for criticizing, for watching, all while knowingly (or not) telling the world via your numerous platforms to do same.
I hear we just broke a new record this morning!
It has been milestone after milestone, record after record, since the very day we released Glamour Girls, a Netflix Original, on Netflix!
The whole world is watching Glamour Girls (A film for us, By us).
