M-Net s Corporate Social Investment initiative Magic in Motion is searching for its Academy Class of 2018 and entries are now open.
Visit the M-Net Corporate website here, before 31 January 2018 and if you meet the entry criteria, simply fill out an online application form. You could be selected to participate in a paid, year-long work readiness programme that aims to equip 16 young graduates with the skills they need to enter the industry. Many of the previous graduates of the Academy are now working in the industry
Speaking on the initiative, M-Net CEO Yolisa Phahle says, When M-Net began the Magic in Motion Academy in 2015, our aim was to build a sustainable and consistent talent pipeline that empowered hard-working professionals with the skills they need to transform the video entertainment sector. Four years on, we re delighted to be calling for entries once again. Together with generous production companies who provide the interns with training placements and aided by tertiary institutions who motivate their brightest to enter the Academy, M-Net is committed to building on the accomplishments of previous interns. Phahle is confident that this powerful partnership remains at the heart of the Magic in Motion Academy. These institutions and companies are invaluable in enabling the Academy to reach its full potential.
With previous interns having created 8 films for broadcast on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161), the Academy alumni has had some industry recognition. Mbali Zulu (Class of 2015) received a notable SAFTA nomination for being part of the writing team on the popular soap Isibaya. Kabelo Ramputa (Class of 2015) has won the Best Intern DOP at the 2017 Visible Spectrum Awards for their 2016 MiM movie The Forgotten.
Led by M-Net Magic in Motion Academy director, respected TV veteran Bobby Heaney, the Class of 2018 will learn more about scripting, producing, directing, editing, production commissioning, concept innovation, sound, post-production, etc. Further, Academy Master Classes led by the country s top TV executives will also expose the interns to the trends and technologies shaping the global entertainment landscape. Ultimately the Academy strives to deliver highly employable individuals who understand a variety of genres, ranging from drama and comedy to live shows and reality formats.
The beauty of the Magic in Motion journey is that our interns learn that this is an industry that will reward hard work and they can effectively work their way up with an M-Net Original productions calling card, says Heaney.
