The MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF), graduation ceremony honored the 57 graduates’ toil and commitment, as well as the accomplishments of MultiChoice’s Talent Factory idea.
Now in its third cohort, has shown that the African entertainment sector is full of compelling stories just waiting to be told.
This was proved by 57 students, including Zimbabweans Chimwemwe Chipidza and Yvonne Feresu.
They showcased the caliber of talent found in Africa at the MTF Academy.
They have acquired skills that will enable them to realize their aspirations for making films as a result of their diligence and hard work.
Students who graduate from the Academy’s three partner universities, University of Zambia, Kenyatta University in Kenya, and Pan Atlantic University in Nigeria – top graduates from each of the three academies were presented with the incredible opportunity to further their development with internships sponsored by MTF partner organisations.
The top graduates at the New York Film Academy (NYFA) who received an eight-week scholarship are Adedamola Akapo from Nigeria, Lushinjilo Victor Kasanga from Zambia, and Melkamu Haile from Ethiopia. The top graduates, Audrey Egesa from Kenya, Yvonne Feresu from Zimbabwe, and Emmanuel Horla Nuvor from Ghana have each been given a two-week Bollywood internship that is co-sponsored by Zee World. Additionally, a two-week internship at a local film and TV production in South Africa has been awarded to top graduates Oluwatoyosi Fowode from Nigeria, Kenneth Msanjila from Tanzania, and Larona Dichaba.
MultiChoice is looking forward to sustaining this opportunity for more creatives in future.
