Our MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) academies offer students a fully funded, 12-month filmmaking program that combines both theory and hands-on experience. With four strategically located academies in Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia, and South Africa, MTF provides aspiring filmmakers across 14 African countries with practical training, valuable industry exposure, and access to professional networks. This comprehensive approach equips them to succeed in the competitive entertainment industry.
The one-year program covers a broad range of film modules, including scriptwriting, cinematography, directing, production management, and various post-production specialties. Upon completion, each student (excluding those in South Africa) receives a university-accredited certificate from our esteemed partner universities: the University of Zambia, Kenyatta University (in Kenya), and Pan Atlantic University (in Nigeria). Our course facilitators are all practicing filmmakers, each highly regarded within their specialty, ensuring students learn from the best in the field.
