We will circulate this Publication using the most recent networking tools; feedback and treatments are carefully considered.

Episode one:     GURU GUANO

There was death under the cross and the Red Crescent, no traces of Zion’s strange death except for a sentence written in Latin; Zafana’s quest for the translation of this sentence was the beginning of her mandate to unite Islam and Christianity. She must first unite the Guru Guano children.

This is a pure epic story of the consequences of ancient migration in Africa. The cross breeding of  Brahmin and Jewish migrants led to the origin of GURU GUANOS…they lived isolated lifestyles and sparsely settled in different tropical rain forests across Africa. They are still found in the valley of okutu…living at a boundary separating two insoluble religions, now they are out to use their great wisdom to execute a conflict resolution strategy…that was the first night the GURU of peace was found dead.

Status: completed 4^th draft

No of pages: 116

The story developed the challenges of growing African Economy, history and fiction with series of suspense and eloquence; revealing the issues of cast discrimination in Africa.

Our episode 2 storyline will be published soon. Subscribe to get a copy delivered to your mailbox

Acting Opportunities in Nollywood

Once again, I want to inspire all the aspiring actors/actresses, musicians, script writers and performers. Here in Africa, starting a career in Entertainment is very tiring because parents and the Government hardly support acting  career. Yet, we are second to best in the world. Our victory is in our own hands. However, can you be a doctor without studying medicine and taking proper practical classes? So also to acting, you must study if you are serious to break in.

Georgeostories Online acting/writing class will give you access to most of their course information through the Internet and submit work online. Some classes may also include web-based discussions, facebook chat, bbm for interaction between students and instructors. Online acting students may also be required to submit video of themselves performing. However, this course is best for upcoming who wants our representation. Like most of other artiste managers, we love to groom our artistes/writers before we recommend them to top film producers Africa wide.

Employment

There's no doubt about it. Showbiz is a tough business, but it's not impossible to get work as an actor. Online acting students will face many of the same challenges students from traditional acting programs will. There is a lot of competition for a limited amount of jobs, so you have to be committed and persistent before you break-in into Nollywood or Africa film/music world at large.

We have set up great networking platforms which we use to source for acting roles and script writing deals to our student so rush now, follow the link below to secure our representation

Becoming an Actor/Actress in Nollywood

Developing an acting career in Nollywood  requires an entrepreneurial mindset: a desire to create your own opportunities while working within a system where rewards are often delayed.

In what ways do you take charge of your own career?

"I've always known that the audition route would not be my way. I accepted that very early on in my career when I realized that no matter how much you prepare or how talented you are, the best person doesn't always book the role.

My Advice to all the Upcoming Artistes in Nollywood

• Make sure you're in a class where the coach cares about you as an actor and not just your money.

• Follow through on all contacts you've made, you never know where people will in up being in a year or two.

• Be proactive in your career.

• Learn the business of acting and not just the craft!

• Keep your word and have integrity.

• Show up on time.

• Be professional on set and off.

• Find a great manager and agent to be a part of your team. They work with you, not you for them or them for you.

• Be flexible and able to make adjustments artistically in class and on set, in other words... Don't be difficult!

• Don't forget to live in the moment everyday despite your circumstances.

• Time is the most important gift in your life and put God first, then your career, then you, and then your family, friends and loved ones.

LATEST NOLLYWOOD SECRET

The rising of our ego, our breakthrough, the most entertaining art of Africa… NOLLYWOOD

Just like filmmakers such as Ola Balogun and Hubert Ogunde in the 1960s made great films, yet   were frustrated by the high cost of film production.

Upcoming film makers were sent back into retreat, they were unable to shoot films but they had the passion. They wrote more, they rehearsed, they talked about films and their parents sighed. Just like you and I, There is some debate concerning what caused this small local market in videos to explode into a booming industry that has pushed foreign media off the shelves in much of Africa and is now marketed all over the world. Use of English rather than local languages served to expand the market. Aggressive marketing using posters, trailers, and television advertising also played a role in Nollywood's success. Yet we failed again, this time we lost focus in the art and followed the money. We failed the masses; we refused to grow with the ever revolving technology, they expected more than we offered.

But once again we have risen from slumber; we must start to write those stories that the world wants to see in televisions and Cinemas, we must start to raise young and educated stars, talented youths across Africa. We have said no to the monopoly of the art of Nollywood.

Nigeria is not only rich in natural resources, we are rich in mental strength and expertise, we can use modern technology efficiently, we can manipulate editing software, we can use RED, DSLR,HDV, we can mix good sounds, we are now making good films again.

My fellow film makers and the upcoming actors and actresses, we must always quench the visual urge of millions of viewers that are waiting for us to rise. We must boost Nigeria economy through media export such as Nollywood films.

Finally, to our viewers worldwide, we assure you that when next you step into the store and buy an original copy of a Nigeria film or drive down a cinema with your children to see a our short films, you will be thrilled with suspense that will quench your ever demanding curiosity in our rich Nigerian stories…watch out for my short film soon.

What you need to be a Film star

                                                               sacrifice

It's important to remember that success probably won't happen overnight, and working a second job to make ends meet will likely be a reality for some time. It may take years of dealing with rejection and criticism before you'll be able to make a living as an actor. The reality is that only a handful of people become full-fledged movie stars. The magic ingredient is luck, and while luck is something you can't prepare for, if you persevere and remain dedicated to your dream, you have a better chance of success.

I am a Film Maker and i know that it is very hard for most film actors to embrace stardom because of need for money. in film making, there is time to work and time to walk through the red carpet gallantly, celebrated by millions of fan from all regions of the world.

i wish you the best as you make your sacrifices

From my bakery, you will learn alot todayMemorizing Lines as new Actor/ActressHow do those actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? How does someone commit all those fancy Shakespearean lines from Hamlet to memory? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.

Read Out Loud (And Repeat, Repeat, Repeat):

For most performers, there is no short cut to memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the script out loud, over and over again. Most rehearsals encourage this by “running through the lines” or having a “read through.”By the time opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times. In addition to constant repetition, consider these supplemental techniques:

Listen to Your Cast Members:

Sometimes inexperienced or poorly trained actors spend rehearsals staring blankly at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. Instead, they should be listening attentively, responding in character at all times.This will not only generate a better performance, it will also help the actor learn his lines because the context of the dialogue is absorbed. Pay attention and the other person’s lines will serve as a cues or “memory triggers” during the performance.

Record Your Lines: Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play’s dialogue during everyday activities. Turn your work-outs, chores, and recreational activities into a “read through” with the help of your headphones or your i-pod. Aside from constant rehearsals, this method seems to be the most popular way to memorize lines.Use a tape recorder or better yet an MP3 player to capture the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own. Then, they not only listen intently, but they speak all of the lines. Others opt for recording the lines of fellow cast members, but they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.Monologue While Motoring Personally, I have found the freeway to be the best place to memorize lines. I mastered all of my Shakespeare monologues driving back and forth on Highway. If your commute to work is twenty minutes or more, then your automobile can become a makeshift rehearsal space. For one, it’s a nice private place to listen to your recorded dialogue. Then, when you have the basic dialogue and monologues down, you can perform as your putter your way through traffic.
The acoustics in your car or room might be lousy; however, it’s a great place to guffaw, growl, or shout your lines, getting them nicely solidified in your memory banks. Get Up and Move! Whenever possible, incorporate your stage directions while you say your lines aloud. According to a scientific study conducted by psychologists Helga and Tony Noice, the combination of movement and speech strengthens a person’s ability to recall the next line.
Here’s how Ms. Noice explains it: “Memory is aided by physical movement. In one study, lines learned while making an appropriate motion — e.g., walking across a stage — were more readily remembered by actors later than were lines unaccompanied by action.” So, during the early stages of learning the script, make certain you join the words with appropriate movements and gestures. Of course, this tip might not be helpful if you are playing the paralyzed protagonist from Whose Life is it Anyway. But for most roles, the Noice team has provided excellent advice!Think Positively and Don’t Panic! Don’t let the butterflies in your stomach torment you too much. Most thespians experience stage fright minutes, hours, even weeks before opening shots. While a certain amount of nervousness can get the adrenaline going, too much anxiety over lines might hinder an actor’s performance.Actors forget lines now and then. It happens. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notices. Forgetting a line is only disastrous if the performer breaks character.So, if you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don’t freeze. Don’t get flustered. Don’t look out to the audience. Don’t call out, “Line!” Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability, and with the help of your fellow cast members you will get back on track.Take solace in the fact that if you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again! Sometimes embarrassment is the strongest and toughest method of memorization! 

The most fundamental principle of Stanislavski's teaching is that the actor must live the life of the character that he is portraying, he must learn to think like the character and behave as the character would, therefore the portrayal is not confined to the performance but will, to some degree, begin to overlap into the actor's own life. This, he asserts, is the only way to achieve total realism and, to reinforce this, the actor must also extend this exercise of imagination to encompass the costumes that he wears, the articles that comprise the set and the props that are used. If there is a mirror on the wall, he must invent a history of where it was bought, by whom and how it has come to be in this particular location, thus completing the elaborate imaginary world which will lend conviction to his performance.
