Banky W Off To Film School In US

Nigerian star, Banky W, is set to expand his range of professional skills with a degree in film-making.

The 'Jaiye Ori Mi' singer, will be enrolling in a two-course to study film-making and directing at an undisclosed institution in New York this September. The singer revealed this in a chat with Ebuka Obi Uchendu on 'Rubbin Minds'.

He told Ebuka: ‘The thing that I am most excited about is that I’m going to New York next week. I’m going for two months to study a course in directing and film-making.'

‘Growing up, I have always written scripts and acted in my school plays. What a lot of people don’t know is that a good majority of the videos that we put out, I do the screenplay and come up with concepts and sometimes, I co-direct or produce the videos. It’s something I want to pursue and one of my goals for the year is to learn the technical side of film making.’

Pulse.Ng have also learnt that Banky W has had pre-school practice in film-making, with most of his released music videos and that of other acts in EME bearing a touch of his skills. Banky W co-directed and partly scripted videos for some of his songs such as the recent 'Jaiye Ori Mi', 'Jasi', and 'Good Good Loving'.
