Boost for aspiring filmmakers

RENOWNED filmmaker Manuel Matsinye of Megacom Pictures has partnered Jibilika Dance Trust to boost the filmmaking classes that he introduced last May in a move that will see interested individuals paying US$5 or an equivalent amount in local currency per month.

The classes, which pay particular attention to acting, have been branded Megacom/Jibilika Film Classes and will incorporate production, directing, editing and scriptwriting.

Matsinye told NewsDay Life & Style that although learners would be paying, there was high probability of benefiting financially from class projects whose funds would be sourced by Jibilika while the facilitators would also be paid.
