To whom it may concern, if after d payment of a whooping $5000 n succefully completing the course, then what next?
If after paying d N3000 for scholarship n i didnt make the scholarship(God forbid) do i still have to pay the dollar sum to be enrolled?
come over to pefti film school and get the act of film making or call 07040101369
Chris, I suggest you contact Del-York with your questions. Follow the link to the website. They have a phone number listed. I am just providing the information about the programme, as sent to me for the benefit of those looking for film training opportunities. What you do with the training is up to you. I agree that it is a lot of money, and, yes, I believe the N3000 registration is required whether or not you recieve a scholarship. If you don’t think the course is worth that, then there are other training programmes listed on this blog and other websites that you can look into.
to whom it may concern u cant use a month to learn anything in film school ur just going to pay 5000 dollars for nothing. as any bodybody that has being to a film school.or u can come over to pefti and take ur time and learn the act of film makeing
I would have loved to attend but that $5000 is a whooping sum. My people no be yam oh…
the price is too much on the high side, are they trying to enrich their own pockets or help the industry to grow? 3,500 dollars for just a month training and workshop, haba……. you guys should try and bring it down a little bit abeg, a lot of us are really interested but that kind of price is for sons and daughters of politicians who can easily embezzle money to pay for their children, not for hustling guys like us who really have a passion for these industry and want it to grow. with 5,000 dollars, i can go to india to study the same course. you guys should try and give it a second thought.
Pls where is the venue for this programme
This is unbelievably stupid of d nigerian government to have allowed such a film making school in this country with the motive of extorting good citizens of nigeria whom with 5000 USD they could be called KINGS AND QUEENS in their Motherland. Del- York International we DON’T need you!!!
