Film talent incubator gets underway

Sixteen of South Africa's talented aspirant film professionals have been chosen from hundreds of applicants to attend MultiChoice's Film Talent Incubator. The Film Talent Incubator initiative was introduced in 2007, in response to South Africa's burgeoning film industry. Says Itumeleng Letebele, MultiChoice CSI manager, “The Film Talent Incubator is one of our most exciting CSI initiatives because it allows us to contribute towards the promotion of local ‘content development' in a meaningful and sustainable way.” The interactive full-time 20-week programme kicked off in the first week of April 2008 and will run until mid-September, when graduation takes place.
