The Yabatech Film Academy YFA, in conjunction with Yabatech Consult, is set to host a training session on movie production. This was revealed in Lagos by producer Abay Esho, a consultant to YFA, and his partner, Kingsley Omoefe.

The academy, located within school, is opened to both aspiring and established movie makers who need retraining. Courses are available in Acting for Screen, Directing, Editing, Film Production and Marketting and Cinematography. Professional Diploma Certificate in six months.

“In this industry where professionalism cannot be discarded, there comes a need for the young ones to be grounded practically and theoretically in different areas of film making. YFA is positioned to meet the  needs and expose students to what it takes, Abey told R.
He also said that the curriculum was fashioned after the best film schools and it has scholars and practitioners to train students. “The best student each session has the opportunity of a scholarship of a degree course abroad,” he added.
Since the industry accounts for second highest employer of labour, there is a need for training of entrants,”  added the director of Dear Mother, Every Day People and Eve.
