She disclosed that wealthy investors withdrew their investments and left the movie industry for the creatives to seek alternative ways of distributing their movies as they were not conversant with the technological advancements happening worldwide in the past.

"The movie industry is not dead. We never had structures, and at that time, it was businessmen who had invested in the job. So, when they realised that the world had changed digitally, they couldn't change with that, and that they couldn't catch up, so they went back to their businesses and left us, the creative people, to find avenues to distribute our movies."

McBrown stated that she and her colleagues in the industry have taken advantage of new media as an alternative to distribute their movie projects and gain income after their investors pulled out.

"We realised that the businessmen are back to their business so then we the shareholders must find business in what we are doing. If you go on YouTube right now, the young guys took over when we were busy hosting shows."
