The Ecosystem
Production
We engage in the production of film and media related contents including Feature films, Short Films, Television Series, Documentaries, Reality TV and other TV programs, and more. We are equipped for all stages of the production of, including Development, Preproduction, Production and Post production of the films.
Distribution
We facilitate distribution of well-made Christian films, including in main stream; Cinemas and Streaming platforms, which is always a cross road for Christian filmmakers. This we achieve through collaborating with Christian filmmakers to ensure the films are well produced, while also partnering with Film Distributors to get the films
distributed in cinemas and on steaming platforms. It begins with making a GOOD FILM.
Capacity Building:
A call to Kingdom ministry work isn’t a call to mediocrity, rather a call
to excellence, hence we facilitate professional trainings to build the capacity of Christian filmmakers to excel in their profession and ministry. These trainings take different forms, including:
Workshops
The workshops run for between One to Six days, and are facilitated at
our headquarters in Abuja or across different regions where an invitation has been
made.
Film Lab
Our Film Labs are designed for Christian writers, directors, and producers
who are working on a new film or television series project, and seek an opportunity
for both professional and spiritual development of the project, amidst a small group
of fellow Christian filmmakers who also seek the same support, and are supervised
and mentored by established Christian film professionals. We workshop your story
under a cloud prepared through prayers. It runs for between three to seven days.
Fellowship (Internship)
Once every year we open our doors to emerging Christian
filmmakers who wish to grow both their technical and spiritual capacity in faith film
production, to enroll for an Internship with Gospel Cinema International. During the
fellowship program, which last for 1 year, they will receive professional and spiritual
training and capacity building, take up different roles on film production sets, and
produce at least 2 short films. Applications for this program will always be published
on our website and across our social media platforms.
Gospel Cinema Academy
We partner with professional film institutes like High
Definition Film Academy, and also Christian Leadership Ministries, to organize a
professional film and ministry diploma program. This program features a
combination of professional filmmaking and Christian Ministry training. It is run
intensively for 3-4 weeks, mainly with all participants in-camp. Update on the next
entry will be published soon.
