The ABS Film Village will be completed as planned by February 2022. This was disclosed today by the MD/CEO of Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS), Chief Uche Nworah, Ph.D after inspecting ongoing construction at the site today, Monday, 24th January, 2022.
The ABS Film Village is a partnership project with Alkebulan Productions. When completed, the Film Village will be available for rental to film makers, and will also serve as production hub for students of the ABS Film Academy. It will also serve as a tourist attraction and cultural centre, while students can also come on excursion.
The ABS Film Village is themed as a rural village. It has several mud houses, obi, artificial stream as well as a rural market.
According to Chief Dr. Nworah, “When completed, film makers don’t have to go scouting for locations to shoot epic movies anymore or inconvenience people living in the villages to vacate their homes so they can shoot their movies. The ABS Film Village is a purpose-built, one-stop shop that can serve multiple purposes for film makers. It is the first of its kind in the South East”.
