Nigerian singer Oladapo Oyebanji, better known by his stage name Dbanj, revealed that a platform for talented Nigerian actors to showcase their scripts for sponsorship would be launched on May 1.
The koko master made the disclosure during the 2018 Nigerian Entertainment Conference in Lagos, tagged “Understanding Emerging Markets, Trends and Opportunities” in Lagos.
Dbanj established a similar platform in 2016 called Creative, Reality, Entertainment, Arts and Music (CREAM).
The artist said the platform would afford actors opportunities to showcase their scripts, adding that random selection would be done monthly and CREAM would be responsible for all the finances to make sure the most interesting among the scripts were selected for production.
He also said it would be a platform that provides for the upcoming artistes the prospect to have their songs recorded, movies and videos shoot for the budding artistes.
It would also help secure collaborations with established acts. “The first set of beneficiaries on the platform was Rayce, TK Swag, MKJ, Leke Benson, Legend Courage and recently Real Self.
“We have been doing this for the musical industry since 2016, we want to rub off on the potential actors and actresses too because we realise there are talents too in that field who needs assistance.
“Every month beginning from May, we will be picking 10 scripts we believe will interest the viewers and they will all be shoot and produced.
“We have 3.5million subscribers’ already on CREAM platform and we expect more talented Nigerians to upload their scripts and music for possible assistance.
