Founder/Festival Director of Kingdom Film Festival, Mrs. Ewoma Luther-Abegunde, has struck a deal with one of Nigeria’s financial institutions, Club E.F.I, to raise seeding funds for the faith-based filmmakers community.
This is coming off the heels of the hugely successful Kingdom Film Festival, which took place from November 29-30, 2023 at EbonyLife Cinema, Victoria Island, Lagos.
One of the critical challenges facing the faith-based filmmakers in Nigeria is finance. According to Luther-Abegunde, the drive to see this niche thrive in all ramifications has given birth to the collaboration with Club E.F.I.
“Kick-starting this process is the 8-week business of filmmaking course aimed at laying the foundation for a financial literacy in the community. Participants will be exposed to the rudiments and business sides to filmmaking. These sessions will be handled by some of the best in the film and financial institutions. Amongst them are the CEO of Club E.F.I, Segun Aderibigbe, Ijeoma Onah of NIFS, Ewoma Luther-Abegunde (Kingdom Film Festival), Ladun Awobokun and a host of others,” she said.
