By
MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF), MultiChoice Africa’s flagship Pan-African shared-value initiative is thrilled to announce the launch of the MTF Portal on www.multichoicetalentfactory.com!

The online portal is the third touchpoint of the initiative following the launch of three regional MTF Academies (in West, East and Southern Africa), a 12-month film training programme aimed at upskilling the next generation of passionate young film creatives launched in October 2018 and the MTF Masterclasses launched in January this year to upskill industry professionals.

The interactive online portal is aimed at profiling and connecting Africa’s industry creatives and bringing pan-African talent and opportunities together in one place. The digital portal will allow filmmakers across the continent to network, find talent and showcase their work.

Access to the portal is through registration on www.multichoicetalentfactory.com which will serve as an authoritative source of industry news, supported by MultiChoice’s long-standing position of being Africa’s leading storyteller. Users of the portal – up-and-coming talent and industry professionals – can also network with each other, connect and collaborate. The MTF Portal will also provide information on the MTF Academies and Masterclasses.

The MTF Portal forms part of the investment MultiChoice has made to improving the quality and supporting the production of local content and storytelling across the continent.  The MTF Portal will serve both seasoned professionals and aspiring talent in Africa’s film and TV industry.



According to Cecil Sunkwa Mills, Managing Director, MultiChoice Ghana, “MultiChoice has listened and has made it possible today. This unique innovation is a long awaited window of real connectivity opportunities for ideas and resource sharing plus a network for creative minds from Ghana and other African countries, to reach out and tell our own stories through new partnerships without borders.”

The global commercial potential of the exposure created by this portal is significant, but the success will be dependent on the ownership and nurturing by the creators, to show the quality of Africa’s talent through works and profiles made available on the portal. We are grateful for the support provided by various agencies and players towards the successful rollout of the third phase of the MTF initiative and its impact on empowering our communities through the exposed creativity” he added.

Femi Odugbemi, MTF Academy West Africa director, believes that the networking portal will be yet another important tool that will play a key role in strengthening the credibility of Africa’s creative film and television industry.

“For a long time, Africans within our industry have gone to great lengths to prove that what we do is credible enough to be treated as an important economic player in our respective economies. The MTF portal will prove that not only is our industry just as structured and plausible, and most importantly, that it can compete on a global scale.”

No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

By
As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.

The Weird BBNaija All-Stars Parrot Come Alive Tonight!

By
When the Big Brother Naija All-Stars house first opened on July 23, the curious eyes of fans picked up on the parrot. It wasn’t just that it seemed out of place; it was also a little weird and didn’t match the decor. So the guessing game began with everyone wondering if it was just a decorative piece or if it held some significance that we had to pay attention to. Those who guessed that it had some relevance we must pay attention to were correct. A little secret you should know first - the parrot is an all-hearing one, and it will spill all the secrets it's heard at 9 pm today. It’s about to be pure mayhem, and we are here for it! For the past two weeks, the parrot has carefully listened to all the drama and gossip in the house, and it is time for the parrot to do what parrots know how to do best, gossip. Big Brother will bring the parrot to life for the first time today, Friday, August 4, at 9 pm, and you best believe the drama is about to go up a notch higher.
