Kunle Afolayan Expands Influence In Nollywood, Opens New Production Company, Film Academy
Award winning Nigerian actor and director, Kunle Afolayan is set to expand his reach within the Nigerian film industry with the opening of a specialized centre for film production named KAP Hub.
The versatile Afolayan who has been celebrated as a film director, producer and actor hinted that he has been working on a couple of projects that will certainly be very beneficial to creatives and content creators.
The ’October 1st’ film director said the idea to open KAP Hub was conceptualized in 2005 to cater for some lacking aspects of film production in Nigeria to impact lives.
”This is an idea that I conceptualized years ago. After the establishment of my film company, Golden Effects Pictures in 2005, I decided to branch into other fields so I can really impact lives.
”Initially, Golden Effects Pictures was involved in the production of films, documentaries, television commercials, music videos, film equipment rentals and film consultations; but with my decision to go into other demanding areas in the film industry, I decided to expand Golden Effects Pictures into subsidiary brands offering specialized services under the name KAP Hub. This was the first phase of my project.
”KAP Hub will consist of, Kap Motion Pictures, a film and television academy, a cinema, Golden Effects Services Ltd, a restaurant and bar, live band, art and craft shops and a creative minds hangout.”
