It’s now clear that the film sector in Cameroon has a bright future. News about the coming of new Cameroonian movies is phenomenal. Katrina is the name of the next child the industry is about to give birth to. It is a one-hour long film, already made and awaiting a series of premieres, billed for Kumba, Bamenda and Yaounde.

According to L.T Njeck, Katrina’s director who doubles as producer of the movie, the product shall be unveiled in Kumba on Saturday December 3, 2012. On Youth Day, February 11, the population of Bamenda shall be expected to turn out en masse to say welcome to this new Cameroonian movie. “We shall be organizing the third and last premiere for Katrina in March 2013, on a date to be announced,” Njeck revealed. Talking to TIPTOPSTARS’ Editor on the line to Soa, Yaounde, the producer of Katrina said they were expecting massive turn outs for all the events.

 To say the film industry in Cameroon is gearing towards maturity is not an overstatement. Both in quantity and quality, there is a glaring growth taking place to the utter satisfaction of the country’s culture promoters. And that there are many more films produced in the English, is a thing to write home about. On this score, Bamenda has been awake, feeding Cameroon with sellable movies, many of which have transcended the county’s borders and are being watched abroad with great appetite.
