MTF alumni thrilled about AMVCAs nominations
MultiChoice Talent Factory's (MTF's) Lucia Kim Hamunghete, Jose Carlos Amutenya and Jerome Claasen have every reason to celebrate as their film projects have been nominated for the Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards (AMVCAs) in the MTF category.
The alumni, who graduated from the MTF Academy in 2022, worked on two short films, Quiet Intruder’ and ‘Strings’, which are up against four other films in the category.
Hamunghete, who worked as the assistant director for ‘Quiet Intruder’, described the experience as incredible.
"Being a part of ‘Quiet Intruder’ has been such a great honour!" she said. "It’s been a great reward, and to have it recognised in this way is the dream. It’s a joy to have been part of a group of amazing filmmakers and to learn from them. I’m just so excited to share what we did with the whole of Africa."
Praise for talent
The MTF category was introduced during the seventh edition of the AMVCAs in 2019 with the aim of recognising emerging television and film talent from all over Africa.
"I’m very excited to be a part of this nomination for both 'Strings' and 'A Quiet Intruder'", said Amutenya, who did sound design, location recording and digital imaging for the films. "I’m also grateful to the MTF for the opportunity to be exposed to such a huge platform."
Like Amutenya, Claasen also worked on the sound editing for 'Strings' as well as the location recording and digital imagining for 'A Quiet Intruder'.
Glittering event
The prestigious awards are scheduled to take place next month between 18 and 20 May in Lagos, Nigeria – a three-day event that promises to be full of film production, culture, fashion, music and all-round African entertainment.
"MultiChoice has always had the burning desire to develop and upskill our local creatives in order for them to tell our stories and share them with the world," said Roger Gertze, MultiChoice Namibia managing director.
"Therefore, I’d like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to our MTF alumni who have broken barriers to produce 'A Quiet Intruder' and 'Strings', and wish them all the best for the AMVCAs."
