Nigerian Actor, Iyke Olisa Who Shot Two Scary Snake Movies Reveals What Inspired Him

Nollywood star, Prince Iyke Olisa, is a man of many parts. He is multi-talented actor, script writer, film producer-cum-director,  who recently shot two scary movies, Snake Mother and Son of Python.

On why he ventured into that kind of movies, the award-winning Olisa maintained that, over the years, he had identified his audience and what they like.

Hear him: ‘’Someone brought the script to me. After I studied it, I liked it. Every movie has an inspiration. I was not really particular about the snakes but the interesting story behind it.

“The script writer mentioned to me that he is very good in creating snake-related stories, so after we did Son of Phyton, which sequels are being released, we just shot Snake Mother.

“I have identified my audience and they like my kind of movies. Although, the posters might look scary, the movies are quite interesting and unpredictable. I don’t want to join the crowd to do normal, flat movies, I love to see action in my movies.”

However, Olisa asserted that while Son of Python preaches against greed, Snake Mother tackles family and trust issues.

“So, it’s all about thrilling your audience and passing a good message at the end,” he stated.
