This is good news for filmmaker's on the Plateau as efforts have been made for years to return at least 50% of Nollywood activity to the city of Jos which has for years been earmarked for hosting the landmark for filmmaking activities. This dream has been made possible as this independent film content from an indegeniuos casting agency from the city pioneered by Ambassador Hoomsuk jibrin has been achieved and will spur the next generation of actors, producers and directors from the indigenous society of the Plateau.

Expect international collaborations with foreign and reknowned film companies in the USA when  Plateau state comes back from taking centre stage at the Hollywood weekly magazine film festival 2021!.
