Yul Edochie Takes Nollywood To Another Level With 'Yul Edochie Academy'

Nollywood Hunk, Yul Edochie has taken a bold step to lead Nigeria movie industry to another level by branching into movie directing.
Few months ago, he kicked off his pet project; Yul Edochie Academy, designed to train young and aspiring youths.
Shedding lights on the reasons he pulled in so much funds to establish the Academy, the father of three 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 but 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 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 entitled Secret Pain. It was shot in 2006. Henceforth, I will be combining both acting and directing and its a great feeling. Though it is very stressful, it is also a rewarding experience."
