Joshua Tsotso is a 21-year-old Nigerian filmmaker that is ready to embrace his calling within the creative film and TV industry.
“Increasing demand for more rich, organic stories and content will over time put Africa at the forefront of storytelling,” says Tsotso, who has completed extensive masterclasses in film directing, editing and production from Lagos-based institutes Graig-Philips College of Technology, Lagos Film Academy and Del-York Creative Academy.
As part of the MultiChoice Talent Factory Academy’s Class of 2019, Tsotso hopes to collaborate and utilise all the opportunities that the programme provides to become a well-rounded creative.
His favourite films include Hotel Rwanda, Inception and Slumdog Millionaire, among others. The African film and TV creatives that top his list of admiration include Nigerian film stars Genevieve Nnaji, Pete Edochie, Osita Iheme and Ghanaian Van Vicker.
After his time at the academy Tsotso aims to utilise the wealth of experience gained from the programme towards his future work.
