About
YPONLINE

(film & tv)

Exclusively convened for young professionals between 18 and 35 years, currently engaged in or interested in pursuing a career in the Film and TV industry. Participants must be graduates (Minimum of OND)

YPONLINE was previously convened as YPLAGOS and YPCALABAR. The challenge posed by the Covid-19 pandemic presented the opportunity to host the event online.  This makes it possible to accommodate more mentors and mentees as it also gives participants the opportunity to join in from anywhere.

On June 6 and June 13, 2020, we convened YPONLINE where we hosted 80 mentors and over 500 young professionals.

At YPONLINE (Film and TV), benefit from answers, insights, experiences and guidance offered by a mentor and also from everyone else in the room in addition to forming new relationships. 

Participation fee is ₦2,750. 

Thankfully, 100% scholarship has been provided by Unity Bank Plc.

Every participant gets a digital certificate of participation.
