A film production company, 2et Media Network Limited, has
created a platform for upcoming artistes to be in the
mainstream of filmmaking in Nigeria. Tagged: “Unleash Ur
Creativity”, two groups of 25 artistes will be selected and
camped for a month during which they will learn the rudiments
of filmmaking and then shoot a short film. They will be re
quired to conceptualize a story, produce and premiere it within
the period. The movie will be premiered to an audience on live
TV and the winning group will get N10 million to produce a
feature film.
According to the organizers, the programme is geared towards
empowering upcoming acts, who have never had the op
portunity of playing in the big league. The artistes selected will
comprise storytellers, actors, cameramen, editors, musicians
and songwriters. While they are working, the audience will
watch their efforts and get to know how things are done
behind the camera from scripting, casting, down to choosing
of locations, rehearsals, principal photography, and editing of
the movie.
Seven locations are being considered for the camping. They
include Obudu Ranch Resort in Cross River State, Abuja, Akwa
Ibom, Edo, Bayelsa, Kogi and Lagos States.
While seasoned filmmakers will visit the artistes from time to
time to give them practical tips on the art and science of
filmmaking, popular actor and filmmaker, Desmond Eliot has
been penciled to anchor the first season of the show which
would aired on AIT and other satellite TV stations.
Put together by Eyaba Emmanuel Tagbo, the show is endorsed
and supported by Diamond Bank, Directors Guild of Nigeria,
Royal Paradise Limited, Foboche International Limited, TGM
Media, Signature magazine, and Nigerian Film Corporation
among others.
