Let's discuss this shall we?
I am all for supporting our local industries. From manufacturing to entertainment. Yet being local doesn't excuse being subpar. Making excuses for mediocrity will only encourage more mediocrity and further slide into worsening 1/n https://twitter.com/ZemenuYA/status/1248803321336475648

Art (consumer art) comes in many forms. Be it Books, Muisc, Films, TV Shows and many more.
Here I want to discuss two major sub groups. The first being EDM (Muisc) and the second one Digital Art.
Both art forms are extremely young in Ethiopia, less than a decade old 2/n

Even thou both forms are in their infancy they have manged to make their distinguished impact on our society and culture. They have managed to take what the world has to offer and blend that with an authentic Ethiopian taste to create something original. 3/n
In the EDM world @ROPHNAN2 & "Ahadu ፩" are doing phenomenal work. When it comes to digital art, @Yehadigitalart is beacon of light, not only for fellow digital artists but for the other industries as well. 4/n
It's shows what few talented & determined individuals can achieve when they strive for greatness.
I know resources are a factor but there are very few things hardwork & determination can't beat. I don't think we can confidently say while talking about Ethiopian film industry 5/n

They are not well acted or directed with a laughable script & dialogue which sounds like was written by toddlers.
I am not a filmmaker or a professional in any sense, but I am a fan of the art. If I can notice how bad they are, surely they know how bad they are as well 7/n

There lies their problem, if they are satisfied with pumping their unoriginal and half-assed products to the community, I don't think that should be rewarded with us giving them our money just because they are "local". That will only further the problem and make things worse 8/n
