Royal Arts Academy will host a short film
competition themed “PROUDLY YOUNG,
PROUDLY NAIJA” exclusively for
Royal Arts students, past and present.
Students will be given a designated period to
shoot and submit a short movie (maximum of 15 minutes) using the theme to tell
an inspiring story centered around youths in today’s Nigeria.
The entries will be judged by a jury,
comprising experienced screenwriters, producers, actors and directors,
including Emem Isong who will pick out the ten best entries and upload them
online for public to view and vote their favourite.
When the voting period closes and the winning
short film known, it will be announced at the movie premiere of “Spotlight”, a movie produced by Royal
Arts Academy featuring mainly its student and for which the short film contest
is named.
The Spotlight Academy Awards aims to reward
students of Royal Arts Academy yearly with the opportunity to have a career in
the industry. It will encourage team work, creativity, diligence,
competition-mindedness, and importantly in today’s youths, seriousness and
focus, knowing that their effort will result in glory. It is a fabulous way to
employ otherwise jobless but highly skilled young filmmakers. It will also
infuse the lifeblood of youths into an industry.
This is a great one. My dream, my Joy... please how can I enroll into this? wazzywallex@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteIn the centre of the room was a single tattered filthy looking bed.
Nimi gasped in horror.
There was something on the bed.
Something dark.
It wriggled about, contorting it's alien body,writhing as if in pain.Part of it's body extended a little beyond the boundaries of the bed over a black bucket.
As more details of the ..."thing"became clearer,she realised what she was looking at.
It was the naked,tied up body of a man.
His head suspended over a black bucket as he struggled with his restraints.
At first,the man's facial features were distorted.But as her eyes focused a little bit more,she recognised him.
"My God,...John!"she gasped as her mind processed more details.
Aside from being stripped naked,his wrists and ankles were bound and his lips sealed by what looked like duct tape.
Nimi's heart froze.
"What the hell is this?"She screamed into the darkness.
"What the hell is going on???"
John's muffled screams were her only reply as his panic-stricken face seemed to be staring at something outside the Camera's View.
A figure entered the screen.
Nimi felt her heart racing.
He was wearing a weird looking black mask. continue reading
