'Masterclasses' for filmmakers, producers
MultiChoice has launched the Best In Class workshops with the aim of upskilling industry filmmakers and producers to produce higher quality African stories.
MultiChoice Africa, under its flagship the MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) programme, will roll out the highly-anticipated MTF Masterclasses powered by various industry partners.
The MTF Masterclasses will present the industry with workshops to increase MTF's upskilling outreach to established film and TV industry professionals. The Masterclasses are aimed at developing technical skills of established creatives in cinematography, audio and storytelling, in order to improve the quality of local productions, and will be rolled out in various countries.
The inaugural workshop next month will be open to invited members of the film and TV industry from around the continent who aspire to take their craft to the next level. They will be workshopped over the course of two days.
The workshop will be led by well-respected subject matter experts, including South African director and producer Bobby Heaney, reputable sound consultant from Dolby India, Vikram Joglekar, pan-African storytelling and creative consultant Allison Triegaardt, award-winning Kenyan film producer Appie Matere and Jonathan Kovel, the cinematographer behind the award-winning South African film Ayanda.
“We are excited about the launch of this next touchpoint of MTF as it reaffirms our commitment to supporting the industry and promoting sustainability in the industry by creating shared value across the business through quality programming for our customers and Enriching Lives,” said Roger Gertze of MultiChoice.
The first scheduled MTF Masterclasses will be rolled out from 7 to 8 February in Namibia with Allison Triegaardt on Storytelling. The MTF Masterclasses will be presented with the support from Dolby Laboratories and FOX Portugal, which both play a crucial role in priming the MTF Academy students as key players in the growth and sustainability Africa's creative film and television industry.
“The success of these MTF Masterclasses will, over time, deliver a more professionalised, networked film and television industry across Africa and an expanded community of highly-skilled professionals who are passionate about creating quality home-grown content,” said Gertze.
Interested creative professionals who are eager to upskill their craft should email a short bio of themselves with their contact details to [email protected]
“We will be in touch should you make the list to be part of the MTF Masterclasses coming to your country soon. We are in search for 20 participants who should be established film producers and directors who have been in the industry for a skills transfer opportunity to be part of the amazing workshop,” said Cloete, who is MultiChoice's corporate affairs manager.
