Founded by award-winning filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, the KAP Academy, in partnership with USC and content streaming giant, Netflix, have executed the programme in post-production - the first in a series of training workshops in Africa.

Also expected at the event are former D.G of National Theatre, Prof Ahmed Yerima and Chairman, Audio- Visual Rights Society of Nigeria, Mr. Mahmoud Ali-Balogun among other creative industry stakeholders.

With the coming event, KAP is optimistic that the Nigerian film industry is about to witness a turnaround with professionals who will take the film industry to higher grounds.

The Academy stated that graduating students are film editors with previous experience who now have a global professional mindset.


The course which ran for 10 weeks had world-renowned facilitators like Douglas Blush, Stephen Flick and Richard Burtonled from the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California.

The Academy has imparted in the trainees, the required knowledge and skills for the new forms of post-production techniques, including Picture Cropping, Editing and Sound Design.

According to Afolayan, “It has been amazing working with the Netflix team to produce dynamic Nigerian films, and it will only get better now that we are partnering with Netflix and USC to train the newest crop of film post-production experts," he said.

"These editors and sound designers will go on to craft Nigerian stories on a world-class level.”

Speaking on the partnership, Allison Triegaardt, Netflix Grow Creative Manager for Africa says, “Africa is a hugely important region for Netflix and as we grow the number of productions is important for African stories to be able to meet the growing demand for quality storytelling.

No be BAT cap be this or na my eye Dey pain me ni?

I watched a video by elder statesmen Clark on the Igbo presidency question. I agree it is utter wickedness by the political elites in the north and west to continue to deny the Igbo the presidency since the civil war.

It is time all other tribes relax and allow the igbos produce the nations president. We cannot continue to treat a certain tribe in the country as second class citizens.

No tribe has contributed to the local economy in nigeria like the igbos, and no tribe should claim the monopoly of power even if they have the population.

The igbos paid a great price after the civil war. Their houses and businesses were seized by the government of Gowan. That alone was injustice never revisited and most young people today may not know this side of history.

Nigeria of today would have been like Sudan without the Igbo tribe. They own shops all over the country. Without Igbo business our sea ports in lagos are dead.

Now, if the north and the west think they should always control the monopoly of power, that’s ok, then let the igbos go a separate way. Why hold a man down if you think he is not good enough?

If we must seek peace then equity and justice must have a stake. I am not Igbo, but I know a great lot of political injustice has been done to them.

Now that power is said to go the south, let the south east have a shot. Let us give them power or let my people go. That’s my final answer!

God bless you INNOSON

Dear @chukseric70,

So that you people can gather to insult me? If you guys like, you can kill each other. I will not meddle into your business. I am not contesting an election. I have my own businesses. I can afford to be brutally honest.

As a general rule, though there may be exemptions, the Igbo people of the Southeast do not know how to hear anything except it is telling them they are the best. They prefer useless lies, over useful truths. And you guys can forget 100 good turns, if the person who had done the good turns tells you a bitter truth.

You don’t reward friends. You have allowed vile and bitter people hijack your ethnic nationality’s struggle. Your own elite who see this do not want to talk, lest unknown gunmen kill then or their relatives, and burn their houses. And these vile elements have alienated you from even those who had some compassion for you.

Please go and look for another person to trap. As bad as you think the North are, they know how to walk with their friends 1000 times more than you guys.

Oya, insult me! After all, that is your favourite way of making friends.

I guess this is DSS hatched job according to some people

AustineE1:
As much as i do not subscribe to this barbaric act by the so called unknown gunmen,FG must as a matter of urgency free Nnamdi Kanu,so the Igbo nation can use its internal mechanism to fish out the criminals hiding under the clog of IPOB. If the blood tasty boko haram and Iswap terrorists have in the past been given amnesty by this government then why are they finding it hard to free Nnamdi Kanu.

In as much I understood what you are trying to say here but e no fit work cuz they surrendered before they were pardoned

The spirit that came over the first make up artist must be extraordinary.

See how make up changed this man

MistarT:
Hmm, God have mercy on us, we screwed up 2015, we thought man could save us but here we are. Please Almighty Father give us a man after your own heart come next year. Please Lord heal our nation (Nigeria) let our votes count, help us just as you've promised in your Word in Jesus most holy name Amen.

A thunderous AMEN
