THANKS FOR OPENING!


 

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

Years ago, we started the vision of changing the face of entertainment in the country, we came in a time when things were very wrong with Nigerian entertainment, we came at a time where mediocrity is at full play, we came at a time when Nollywood product was extraordinarily inferior to Hollywood products, we came at a time when ‘just anything’ was the norm.

Today we are over 5 years in training and learning to be the leading entertainment outfit in the black African soil. For over those years we have been trained in front of camera and by first class books, products from established movie makers across the globe like Mr Tyler Perry, Steven Spielberg and we have access to a whole lot of resource our Nollywood contemporary die to see.

We are a registered organization under the Corporate Affairs code of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 

After series of preparation and mini projects, we made a resolution to create a first class movie in 2015 but we cannot build a new type of house with Old bricklayers because our vision will clash. To build a house not seen before; you also need a team not seen before. We cannot put a new wine into a old wineskin.

For months we gathered all we had and hence the idea of Revolution Entertainment and Leadership Academy was created.

PROJECT REAL

Revolution Entertainment and Leadership Academy will admit the first set of students and stakeholders who would be certified in different departments of film making as professionals in their field. You are thinking professional, how is that possible in weeks or months?

Funmi is a young girl who decided to learn tailoring when she couldn’t get a job after graduating from Obafemi Awolowo University. Funmi learnt for a very little time and she was a leading apprentice in the local tailoring shop in Agbowo Ibadan. Funmi buys magazine for 2,500naira each month for the purpose of seeing styles created by world most popular stylists and he downloads videos on YouTube to watch production process of great styles. Funmi knew down in her heart that she wanted to design like Adidas, Gorgio Armani, Calvin Klein etc and one day she got a chance to make a cloth for a woman who is a friend to the governor’s wife, who wore the cloth to visit the Governor’s wife, who liked it and also ordered for the same tailor to make her a cloth. The governor’s wife wore the cloth to a presidential banquet and the first lady of the federation loved the cloth and ordered the tailor to take over as her official tailor

Is Funmi not a professional tailor?

Professionalism is getting trained by the professionals directly or indirectly to be like them. A single opportunity will launch a prepared man into professionalism.

Like they say, there is nothing like a man who is prepared when opportunity comes. Today I want to announce to you, that Revolution is prepared to train you and also give you the opportunity.

In 2015, after your course and training, your final project will be the production of a cinema bound movie which would feature a mixture of Professional and popular stars and also new stars for the production of a romantic comedy movie. We are committed to making this happen because if as a team we get a movie to make huge statement in cinema then all department members in the production will be searched for all over Africa by producers who love the Revolution message. What is more professional than that? 

THE TRAINING

Training will be preceded by an entrance examination which only qualified candidates – from the grades and cutoff of the exams will be enrolled. Our course materials would then be given after we have reached an agreement on terms and condition. Our facilitators will teach once in a week or in two weeks and assignments and some notes will be given online which the assignment is part of your marks. You will be given projects and also taken to real locations in the course of your study to understudy and also learn from known filmmakers.

The end of the academic year will be the huge project which will launch you into professionalism in which your department and you will have your names sent to all award giving committee from Africa Movie Academy Awards (which we are a member) to the African Magic Viewers Choice Award to the BET awards among others.

Also test and exams will be given over time.
