Chim Onyebilanma, who is the founder of the organisation, said their organisation is talent and youth-driven. “We have talented individuals of all ages that perform and showcase their artistic skills. We equip underprivileged young people with media skills. We facilitate seminars and training sessions; we also have drama festivals. We have made a number of films, as well,” he said.

Onyebilama said they were awarded for their most recent short film. “We entered the 48-hour film festival. This festival requires us to make a film in 48 hours. We are given a description of what the film should be, and in 48 hours, we are supposed to write the script, shoot, edit and submit. The film we submitted is called Open House,” he said.

The short film of seven minutes was aired during the celebration. Onyebilama said they are making more films, and they are inviting young talented individuals as well as sponsors to support them.
