Are you ready for the biggest Film Academy in Nigeria?
The Accelerate Filmmaker Project (AFMP) is back for season 4 and this year, the academy is taking it to another level!
The Accelerate Filmmaker Project is an initiative of Accelerate TV, powered by Access Bank, created to train, empower and give a platform to young enthusiastic filmmakers between the ages of 18 -30 to actualize their filmmaking dreams.
The AFMP training week incorporates a host of well-known industry professionals and heavyweights who work both in-front and behind the scenes, including Kemi Adetiba, Bibi Sasore, Victor Sanchez, Bose Oshin, Yolanda Okereke, Uduak Oguamanam, Tolu Ajayi, Kunle Afolayan, Feyisayo Ogundipe, Daniel Oriahi, Bobo Omotayo and more to ensure the trainees get a well-rounded understanding of the filmmaking eco system.
After pitching their film ideas to the Accelerate Film Maker Project Mentors, five of the stand out students received a sizeable budget to produce their own short films with support from the Accelerate production studio. The short films were showcased at the 2019 Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF).
The standout students, Tosin Ibitoye, Alfa Farouk Umar, Adetola Films, Miriam Dera and Olabisi Akinbinu were mentored by industry veterans including Kemi Adetiba, Kunle Afolayan, Victor Sanchez, Niyi Akinmolayan and Seyi Babatope in their filmmaking journey.
This year, the Accelerate Filmmaker project is back, it is bigger and it aims to train and empower even more young people .
