Del-York ready to host another NYFA training

Del-York International is once again partnering with the famous New York Film Academy (NYFA) for another edition of its annual training programme for aspiring filmmakers and creative professionals.

According to Del-York boss,

Linus Idahosa, NYFA has confirmed its readiness to return to Nigeria this year for another training programme, with its renewed commitment towards empowering young creative Nigerians and Africans with the passion and skill requisite to birthing a more robust film industry.

“On its part, the NYFA has expressed delight on the prospect of training more Nigerians to become professionals in film making, multi-media and entertainment. Del-York International is building on the success it recorded with the two previous trainings held in Lagos and Abuja, which saw 650 aspiring film makers and media professionals trained, by 60 Hollywood’s top tutors from the Los Angeles and New York Campuses of the NYFA.”

The training project which has been slated for the last quarter of the year, will feature an array of courses ranging from Acting, Directing, Set design, Production, Film making, Final Cut Pro, 3D animation, Screen writing, Cinematography, Digital photography, Music Video production, Costume and Make-Up, Graphics and Special Effects as well as Broadcast Journalism.

This year, in a bid to accommodate more applicants in Nigeria and Africa, measures are in place to admit up to 1000. This Miss Andrea Manuela Giaccaglia (Head; Marketing and Corporate Communications) believes will enable more participants benefit from the training, unlike previous editions. Also, key players in the nations’ corporate and industrial sectors are gearing up to provide sponsorship packages for the project.

Applicants are advised to apply at www.delyorkinternational.com, for a speedy processing of applications and issuance of admission letters, in order to enjoy sponsorship considerations. Applicants must also note that the admission letter is a pre-condition for a chance to access and obtain a Federal government scholarship scheme dubbed: Project Act-Capacity Building Fund. The first phase of the grant that is designated for training and capacity building projects, within Nollywood and the creative industry will come on stream in July 2013.
