Kelani, Irish Film Maker Partner

Seasoned Irish filmmaker Cashell Horgan is collaborating with Nigerian ace cinematographer, Tunde Kelani, to float the Advanced Film and Television Training Africa, AFTTA, to take Nigerian film and television professionals to the highest level.

Speaking at a press conference to announce the strategic partnership, Cashell said there is need to identify the need for expert training and skill updating for professionals working in the Nigerian film and television industry.

Kelani added training of professionals had been an adhoc exercise over the last decade in Nigeria because just a few have the time, resources or inclination to plan for longer-term training.

“With AFTTA, we are offering the level of advanced training that would normally only be available in other distant countries and otherwise could not be affordable,” Kelani said.
