Farmhouse Productions has inducted the first batch of students into its maiden programme ? Film Masterclass.
The two-week programme will see students taught modern techniques of script writing, film production, directing, acting, among others.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Farmhouse Production, Ivan Quashigah, in his address at the induction ceremony, expressed delight with the commencement of the programme.
He said the programme is aimed at nurturing talented filmmakers and creating a new chapter in the film industry.
“This is a mentoring programme that we have developed for young people who are interested in making their own films. We needed to create a platform for these young ones to learn some basics about film making to help them meet the intentionally accepted standards. This programme would help students find their feet in the industry,” he added.
Mr. Quashigah said technology has revolutionised filmmaking around the world, especially with various digital platforms offering avenues for revenue generation.
“The Film Masterclass would help provide a networking platform where student can interact with the industry players who would train them on ways to generate contents that suits the local and international market,” he indicated.
Students who successfully complete the two-week programme will shoot short films and be presented with certificates, as well as given the opportunity to pursue attachments at various production firms.
