890 young Lagosians were trained in the inaugural edition, and many of them have already been incorporated into Nollywood’s main stream.
“Film in a Box is a capacity-building framework that educates individuals with the necessary skill sets in the Creative Industry arena, enabling the individual to be economically empowered,” says Mr. Habib Sheidu, a training and strategy associate with the AFA.
