Mo Abudu partners with Sony Pictures Television for new African writers initiative
EbonyLife, a media firm owned by Mo Abudu, the Nigerian producer, has partnered with Sony Pictures Television (SPT) for Àló, a brand-new writers initiative offering a unique platform for writers of African heritage.
The initiative Àló, which was announced yesterday, is derived from the Yoruba language and translates to “once upon a time.”
It intends to tell the rich story of Africans’ heritage and its people.
The website for the initiative will be opened for fixed periods beginning from September 24 to November 5.
The initiative will grant entrants, who are of African descent, an opportunity to submit their television scripts and story documents, which will then be reviewed and shortlisted by a team consisting of executives from both EbonyLife and SPT.
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to enter into a series pilot development agreement with SPT and EbonyLife to create and write a pilot script. Once finalised, the projects will be pitched to major international broadcasters.
