“It is a big opportunity for them. They will be taken through all the rigorous aspects of film production. I’m excited that we have a young generation that is also picking up and that tells you that there will be continuity in the industry and we can always count on people like them."

"I hope that they will take this opportunity and run with it and come back with all the expertise that we need to enhance the film industry in Ghana.”

The MultiChoice Talent Factory will offer participant across Africa the skillset to develop their talent, connect with industry professionals and tell authentic African stories.
