While acknowledging the presence of film politics in filmmaking, the statement goes on to disclose the need for alignment among creatives in the movie industry for the purposes of recognition and success.

Part of the statement reads: "A whole lot of people are moving fast in a wrong direction and that is why we are not getting results. 

"... We will also be talking on filmmaking as a business; why we are making movies and yet not making money from it. It's our sweat, we have to make good money out of it.

"Then we will also be talking on the process of filmmaking and ethical reasoning; how best to make a quality movie and how do we live our lives to succeed in life, what and what are the things we should be doing to remain relevant in the filmmaking business."
