It was a beautiful scenery to watch, experience and be a part of.

We had in attendance the Senator, Florence Ita Giwa who was duly recognized and some other dignitaries.

The show saw merited film makers and artistes win the coveted AMVCA plaques for their due hard work and efforts into creating a new brand of digital narration and visuals.
