pitching for funding for films, buying and selling soaps, programmes documentaries etc. This is  the 7th edition of the event and it promises to be even bigger and better than previous editions judging from the goodies lined up by the organisers of the event, the indefatigable Amaka Igwe and her talented team.

She is also being honoured for her recent 'entrepreneurial spirit that seeks to originate works and distribute them'... thus evolving one of the few ‘Script to Store’ organisations in Nollywood today.
