The power of compelling storytelling, amplified by creative talent and modern filmmaking technology, has once again demonstrated its value after telecommunications giant, MTN Nigeria rewarded the creators of an outstanding short film with a N5 million cash prize.
The recognition came at the 12th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), where MTN Nigeria reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing emerging filmmakers and advancing African storytelling through sustained investments in platforms that discover, reward and develop creative talent.
As sponsor of the Best Short Film category, MTN recently presented the N5 million prize to the creators of Hussaini, the award-winning short film by Orire Nwani and Josh Olaoluwa. The film’s success highlights how a well-crafted story, brought to life through creativity, technical excellence and cinematic innovation, can capture attention and earn industry-wide recognition.
