In this photo taken  Wednesday, Sept, 18. 2013, Nollywood  actors perform a scene in Lagos, Nigeria.  A 15-second drum roll and the title of the film, “Deceptive Heart,” comes crashing onto the screen in a groovy 1970s font. Less than 10 minutes into the Nollywood movie, the heart of plot is revealed: A woman has two boyfriends and doesn’t know what to do. The story moves as quickly as the film appears to have been shot. Some scenes are shaky, with cameras clearly in need of a tripod, and musical montages are often filled with pans of the same building. Most Nollywood movies are made in less than 10 days and cost about $25,000. (AP Photo/ Sunday Alamba)
