African Movie Channel is already well known for its superb Nollywood movies and compelling content catalogue. Over the years, through its three television channels – African Movie Channel (AMC), AMC Series and Nolly Africa, it has maintained an international presence in its mission to entertain its viewers with gripping movies, series, talk shows and more.
AMC actually started productions in 2016 – the extremely popular AMC Movie Talk is currently in its second season. Other AMC original productions include Nollywood 360 and Screen Patrol. AMC produced its first drama series, Asunder (a 64-episode series) in December 2017.
The birth of AMCOP demonstrates AMC’s dedication and passion for excellent African storytelling by home-grown talent, in so doing adding its own distinct voice to African entertainment, and will see no less than 20 exclusively-owned fantastic movies added to its library before the end of 2018.
AMC carefully selected the first set of filmmakers to start this journey with for their experience and quality of productions, and because they share AMC’s vision and innovative approach to filmmaking; Jade Osiberu (Isoken), Paul Igwe (Dance To My Beat), Ola Producer (5ive), Ema Edosio (Kasala), and Daniel Oriahi (Sylvia) are just some of these filmmakers.
AMC channels’ viewers will be the first to watch the new and exclusive AMCOP movies. Timed to lead in to the holiday season at the end of the year, AMCOP movies will begin to air every Friday from 7th December 2018, exclusively on African Movie Channel.
