Therefore we seek to strengthen skills and capabilities of local filmmakers yielding improved superior quality productions.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Mqolomba the objectives of the Eastern Cape Film Festival #EC10 legacy project include to support 10 filmmakers to develop ideas into credible productions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGiven the three building blocks of a viable film economy namely production, distribution and resourcing, the Eastern Cape Film Festival seeks to incrementally impact on them to make the necessary impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c#EC10 is proposed as a solution to address the first building block, quality of productions. Bringing various skilled individuals, the initiative would train and incubate filmmakers to be capable motion picture producers and sector entrepreneurs,\u201d said Mqolomba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#EC10 calls out to filmmakers in the province to submit their story ideas. Ten original and creative projects will be selected and those filmmakers will attend the Encounters online festival and a mentor will be assigned to each project,\u201d said Mqolomba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
