Sammy Sas: So with your experience in the film industry, what would you say has been the major challenge in the industry so far?
Aaron Sunday: For the most part I think its piracy! In as much am not a producer, but I can literally share the pain of what they go through in the hands of piracy. And i strongly believe that as soon as the government come into the movie industry to help curtailed this demon called piracy…. then producers would have smiles on their faces. And also, I speak for actors like me…. It would be amazing to see producers or directors taking risks on young actors in giving them lead roles not minding the fact if they are bankable or not there are lots of young and talented actors out there looking for that one opportunity to prove a point…. its about the “Art” I believe.
Sammy Sas: If you were asked to pick three Directors you would love to work with,local or international who would you choose?
