Hello house, please i will like to know what required steps to take in being a movie producer in Nigeria, the logistics and all it takes to start a movie production company. i will also be delighted if i can get some basic training from anywhere aside PEFTI due to my current location which isnt in Lagos. Anyone with useful information could kindly help out. cheers.

Starting a company like that requires finance and the know-how in the movie industry.

You could begin by taking classes in directing and cinematography.

You didnt specify what part of the country you reside.

However, there is a film academy in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state. The name is Empire Film Academy; it is rated one of the best in Africa.

Good u have d finance but do u have the experience of running a movie production company?

If u don't, I suggest u get ur self a job in a movie production outfit or u could act as an intern or understudy.

This would help u avoid mistakes as u setup and manage urs.

BTW, I don't know of any film academy in Ibadan. I think d closest is PEFTI.

[b][To add to what Modiken has said I think Empire Film Academy is good Academy. Cos my elder sister graduated from there as a cinematographer and I must confess she is doing great. And if stay far from Uyo where the school is ...You can stay in the school hostel and it is affordable.
