Tunde Kelani Floats TV Channel

Popular Filmmaker Tunde Kelani has opened another chapter in his motion picture career, as the cinematographer goes life with an online TV channel today.

Called tundekelani.tv, information has it that the new African cultural medium will offer an extensive range of content across several genres, including documentaries, drama, interviews and movies from the filmmaker’s Mainframe Production’s repertoire.

Kelani said the reason for venturing into the digital platform is an attempt to respond to the yearnings of teeming fans of rich African themed contents on the go.

“Distributing films or other contents physically are becoming increasingly difficult, revenues are lost on a daily basis and content owners are at the mercy of the menacing activities of pirates. I think it is just natural, expedient and sensible to take contents closer to the consumers on demand and in terms that suit all the parties involved,” he said.

Kelani who has been in the film industry for over two decades is expected to feed the new TV channel with new and previous works such as Campus Queen, Agogo Ewo, Oleku, Maami and Palmwine Drunkards by Amos Tutuola among other classics.

The medium, he revealed, will also be available via web and mobile devices.
