Ten trainees Monday graduated from Kunle Afolayan Production (KAP) Film and Television Academy after a ten-week intensive training on post-production techniques.
The diploma course is a partnership programme with the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Cinematic Arts (SCA) and the global streaming platform Netflix to impart knowledge to improve the skill of young filmmakers, and by extension, improve the overall production quality of films from the local film industry.
The graduands are Toye Peter, Ifeanyi Passion, Todumu Adegoke, Adesuwa Omon, Ugbede Peter, Oyinbra Fegha, Emeka Egbueui, Unyime Patrick, Temitope Folarin and Candace John-Jumbo. They were awarded each a diploma in post-production editing (Picture Cropping, Editing and Sound Design).
The academy is the brainchild of Kwara state born filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan.

Some of the notable personalities include veteran filmmaker Tunde Kelani, Mr Mahmood Ali-Balogun, Joke Silva, Professor Duro Oni, Executive Director, Urban Vision Limited, Tola Odunsi, and comedian Babatunde Adewale.
