"Greetings. My name is Chidi Ekwe-Ekwe. I am fourteen years old. My aspirations in life are to be an actor, screenwriter, film producer, film director and record producer. I believe that the way film powerhouses in America and Britain view Africa is that African talent cannot compete with American and British actors or collaborate with high-profile actors and directors. I am hopeful that the work of African actors of my generation will change people’s perceptions that African actors can only participate in African-made films. With the grace of God, I believe I can contribute my part. Africa can become a powerhouse in different branches of the film industry. I believe I can make a significant contribution in helping that occur."
