With the level of competition we are seeing for places at the academy, I would advise anyone wanting to attend ELCA to apply now without further delay.”

Mo Abudu, CEO of EbonyLife Media, stated “Investment and support is needed to accelerate filmmaking skills in Nigeria and the EbonyLife Creative Academy was made possible by funding from Lagos State Government. It is through initiatives like these that future Nigerian filmmakers can one day make top-class movies for audiences across the world to embrace and enjoy.”
