viewers both in the country and on the continent, becoming a daily
show with a widely watched omnibus on Sundays on AfricaMagic
Entertainment, Channel 151. Currently in its sixth season, Tinsel has
become a must watch for millions of DStv audiences on the African

phase of this film initiative and on its way to the second, prompting
these auditions, to seek potential film stars and give opportunities
to a wide range of film enthusiasts.


Speaking on the plan to launch widely spread auditions for two of the
brand's biggest initiatives, the Regional Director, Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu
said "AfricaMagic is always excited at being a part of the fast
growing African film and television industry, we are equally excited
at the opportunity to create pure African content, but more
importantly, we have the chance to continue to tell the African story
on a continent wide platform" adding that "this is a wonderful
opportunity for anyone who truly believes he or she has what it takes
to be a TV or film star and what better platform to launch an acting
career, if not on the continent's largest content provider and we are
hopeful of a huge turnout at the auditions."

Tinsel and AfricaMagic Original Films is produced out of Nigeria and a
testament to AfricaMagic's commitment to the development of local
content and support for skills development in Africa.
