Interested in the different types of art involved in the entertainment industry? In this blog post, we have a look at art for film and TV:

Presently, the credit rate for films, high-end TV and video games stands at 34% (equating to 25.5% in actual relief) for all qualifying projects, regardless of budget but with an 80% cap on qualifying spend. However, with the rise in inward investment in the UK and rising costs across the board making it harder for independent films to get up and running as they battle with the US studios and streamers for UK crew, cast and shoot space, the call for urgent additional support for independent feature making is becoming more insistent. #filmmaking #filmproducer #filmindustry

Again am reposting because I understand the importance of film promotion and marketing at national, provincial or state level as key elements of film business andI have been driving and championing this film business capacity building conversations for almost a decade now. Things don't just happen. We must be intentional and pay close attention to how our local creative economy can be deliberately stimulated to contribute it's quota to the economy especially with the current state of our local currency. In Nigeria, we have the authentic stories, we have the talents but yet the huge gaps in attracting international productions and the limitations such as lack of government incentives, no clear or known intentional plans to promote Nigerian film industry globally by those it's their responsibility, saturation of local market with so much local productions with no plans on distribution except getting to the streamers which has become as hard a camel passing through the eye of a needle. I could go on and on but with Nigerian International Film & TV Summit we remain committed to the global promotion and increasing the visibility of credible people who make things happen locally and our unheard success stories.

I am fan of #DMGDASH! Check out this application. You don't need to be a movie star to use one. I have it sitting on my desk to add the perfect warm amber all day long. And it pairs perfectly with a #MixBook for those times I want to snap a photo and pick a color from an image and see what it looks like on my Dash fixture (insert happy emoji here :)). Want to know more about DMG Dash and how it's being used on Stage? Let's talk!

All good things must come to an end.
