LOOKING THROUGH STEPHANIE'S NEW GLASS

The name Stephanie Okereke is not new in Nigeria movie industry- well as an actress, but, when it comes to movie production, she is a greenhorn. But, to say the truth, Okereke has not only surpass what most of producers churn out as films, she has carved a niche for herself with a top class movie.
Through the Glass may have been months old, but, many people are still awe at the production directed, produced and written by our own Stephanie Okereke. The flick wears and smells like a real Hollywood production; not only did it have Hollywood actor, Gareth Mckechine and others in the cast. This movie, has been showcased in many cinemas in Nigeria, the US, Ghana and Europe and so many people are still shocked that this masterpiece is from Nigeria. And predictably, (not sounding biase), it will surely cart home some diadem, when Africa meets for the Africa Movie Academy Awards in April.
Well, as part of her own way of giving back to the society, Steph, as I like to call, has decided to bring the school that really brought out the best in her to Nigeria- New York Film Academy. 
Del-York International owned by Linus Idahosa as managing Director and Stephanie Okereke as Executive Director is bringing the New york film academy to Nigeria and classes starts Febrauary and March 2010,
The good news however, it that Nigeria will be the first country on the continent to host the NYFA team to an intensive one month hands on training workshop on Digital filmmaking, Acting for film, Screenwriting, Editing, Producing/Development, and 3D animation and master courses exclusively designed for marketing communications executives(broadcast journalism). To make it more merrier, 370 people will benefit from this sponsorship that backed by Rivers State governement and Niger Delta Development Commission.
