MTF organizes West Africa
Masterclass in Acting for Camera
BY ERICA ARTHUR
MULTICHOICE
TALENT Factory
(MTF),
West Africa hub
is set to host a
Masterclass in
acting for camera in Accra,
Ghana. The one-day Masterclass,
which will be facilitated by international
award-winning director,
Denny. Y. Miller, will take place in
Accra, Ghana, on Thursday, January
30, 2020.
Explaining the rationale behind
the upcoming masterclass, Femi
Odugbemi, MTF Academy Director,
West Africa, said, Miller, who
won awards for directing Isibaya
and Swartwater, will teach participants
drawn from the film and television
industry in Ghana, new
techniques of acting for camera.
Miller, who has been in television
for over 25 years, started his
career in the television and film
•Denny. Y. Miller
industry at the age of 19 when he
worked as part of the crew in
EGOLI- Place of Gold. Surrounded
by notable talents in the
industry and some of the best
technicians, he got soaked in experience
that would leave him passionate
about directing for
television.
Miller directed season one of
Africa magic’s longest soap opera
Tinsel, mentoring a cast and crew
that had little or no experience in
the genre. He was also the creative
director and director on two seasons
of Moments with Mo -- a
Nigerian talk show -- and he
wrote and directed Kenya’s first
talent-search reality series called
‘The Presenter’.
Odugbemi emphasized that the
masterclass, which involves actors,
actresses and directors would effectively
get these industry players
to understand that in performance,
imagery matters more than
words.
“These actors and directors
would channel their emotions in a
more powerful way when they
comprehend the dynamics of acting
with camera and not acting for
camera,” he stated.
The Academy Director, West
Africa also pointed out that Multi-
Choice would continue to improve
the skills of talents in the
film and television industry in
Ghana and the success of these
MTF masterclasses will, over time,
deliver a more professionalized,
networked film and television industry
across Africa and an expanded
community of highly
skilled professionals who are passionate
about creating quality
home-grown content.
The participants in the Acting
for Camera Masterclass will comprise
experienced plus-up and
coming actors and actresses from
across the industry and leading
professionals in Ghana.

behind the
upcoming masterclass,
