A non-governmental organization, The African Film Consortium (TACF) is set to produce actors to take over the likes of top African actors like Omotola, Jim Iyke, Ramsey Nouah and others with a set of fresh new faces.

The group, which has its membership drawn from 20 countries including Ireland and UK, has its headquarters in The Gambia. TAFC is geared towards cultivating creative and cultural sentiments to guide African film making. This includes: providing assistance through film grants, community development, film festivals, exhibitions, awards, youth empowerment projects and career development.

In order to achieve this, TAFC will start three major film projects beginning the last week of September 2012 in Liberia, The Gambia and Cameroon. These films are designed to help discover and train new talents in acting as well as other crew in the film making business across Africa.

It sounds like a laudable effort to breed a new generation of actors to infuse extra dynamism. But to set away the old guards and completely introduce a new set of unknown face isn’t so much of a good idea.
