And to address the alarming
shortfall, the EbonyLife Creative Academy (ELCA), located in VI, Lagos is set
to offer free, practical short courses covering all aspects of filmmaking and
media content production including acting, directing, producing, editing, sound
and lighting.
The initiative is supported by
the Lagos State Government through Lagos State Creative Industries Initiative
(LACI) under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture and it has been declared
open for registration on www.ebonylifecreativeacademy.com
Developed by local and foreign
industry experts, ELCA courses are designed to help working film professionals
improve their skills and make them globally competitive and to equip beginners
with the skills they need to launch their careers on a sound footing.
Speaking, its initiator, Mo
Abudu, said, “We have so much talent in Nigeria and our people are ready to
work. Unfortunately, very little training is available locally and most people
cannot afford to go abroad for training. EbonyLife Creative Academy is meant to
fill that gap and make world-class training available. Thankfully, the
governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, understood our vision and gave us the support
we needed to establish the academy here in Lagos, the hub of Nigerian
filmmaking,” she said.
