Yesterday, the Jos Film Initiative (JOFII) had the privilege of a Strategic Partnership Meeting with the General Manager and Director of Programmes of the Plateau State Radio Television Corporation (PRTVC) to discuss the future of the Rock International Film Festival (RIFF) 2026, RIFF Goes to Schools, and opportunities for deeper collaboration in advancing the creative industry in Plateau State.

We are encouraged by the warm reception, thoughtful conversation, and the recognition of JOFII's consistent commitment to youth development, creative enterprise, and human rights education over the years. We were particularly inspired by the encouragement to continue building on the strong relationship that already exists between JOFII and PRTVC.

As we look ahead with optimism, we remain committed to working with partners who share our vision of empowering young people, celebrating our creative heritage, and projecting Plateau State as the true Home of Peace and Tourism.

We sincerely appreciate the leadership and management of PRTVC for their time, encouragement, and openness to exploring new possibilities. We look forward to what the future holds.

Friday, June 26, 2026, The Jos Film Initiative (JOFII) was pleased to support and be part of the creative stakeholders' meeting organized by Total Stage-to-Screen Jos, as part of our continued commitment to strengthening the Jos and Plateau creative ecosystem. We believe that creating spaces for dialogue, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas is essential to building a more vibrant and sustainable creative industry.

The turnout was encouraging, and the quality of conversations, participation, and engagement reflected the passion and shared vision of the creative community.

Our hope is that the ideas, recommendations, and conversations from this meeting will translate into tangible actions, meaningful collaborations, and lasting impact for creatives across Plateau State.

From Jos to the World…..

SCREENGRAMM 2026 COHORT

23/03/2026

DAY 5/6 – ScreenGramm 2026

The final stretch of ScreenGramm 2026 carried a mix of flexibility, resilience, and celebration.

Day 5 was originally scheduled as Writing Day, a time for participants to translate their learning into a 5-minute Screenplay. However, due to the Sallah break, participants continued their work independently from home, showing commitment and discipline beyond the classroom.

Day 6 brought everything together- extended to accommodate both the writing process and closing activities, creating a full and rewarding final day.

Creative Sessions: Participants engaged in two impactful sessions:

-Responsible Citizenship led by Mr. Eddie Oguns, who challenged participants to think critically about their roles in society, especially in light of upcoming elections, emphasizing awareness, responsibility, and active participation.

-Intellectual Property by Mrs. Mayo Mafulul, who once again delivered a powerful session on the value of protecting creative work, leaving participants better informed about ownership and rights in the creative industry.

While being supervised by the ScreenGramm team, participants continued developing their screenplays, applying the principles learned throughout the program, bringing their ideas to life with clarity, structure, and voice

The day concluded with the Presentation of Certificates, marking not just the end of a training, but the beginning of new creative journeys.

ScreenGramm 2026 was more than a workshop, it was a space for learning, expression, reflection, and growth.

And this is just the beginning.

DAY 4 – ScreenGramm 2026

Day 4 of ScreenGramm 2026 took on a more reflective and interactive tone, as participants engaged deeply with both personal expression and technical craft.

Creative Session: Today’s session took a unique turn as the conversation was driven by the participants themselves. They openly shared their biggest frustrations about Nigeria and explored practical ways they can contribute to change through creativity, storytelling, and active citizenship. It was an honest, thought-provoking exchange that highlighted the power of young voices.

Main Session: Mrs. Alice Jumoke Fasakin facilitated a detailed session on “The Difference Between Stage and Screen Writing,” breaking down the structural, stylistic, and technical distinctions between both forms in a clear and relatable way.

This was followed by Amb. Vivien Abara, who led a session on “Grammar for Visual Storytelling,” helping participants understand how strong language use supports clarity, meaning, and impact in their scripts.

Another day of insight, reflection, and growth.

The journey continues.

DAY 3 – ScreenGramm 2026

Day 3 of ScreenGramm 2026 delivered yet another powerful blend of inspiration and skill-building, as participants continued their journey into the world of storytelling.

Creative Session: The day kicked off on a high note with Mrs. Esther Mark (Aunty Esther), who led a dynamic session on “Finding Your Voice Early: A Foundation for Future Leadership.” Her session challenged participants to embrace authenticity, confidence, and purpose as essential tools for leadership and creative expression.

Main Session: Mr. Ezekiel Bok returned to conclude his session on Video/Documentary Scriptwriting, guiding participants deeper into the principles of visual storytelling and structured narrative development.

The learning continued with Miss Fatgan Agati, who delivered an eye-opening session on “Mastering Dialogue: Grammar and Punctuation,” equipping participants with the tools to write clearer, more impactful, and technically sound dialogue.

Another enriching day of growth, creativity, and self-discovery.

The journey continues.
