CHAARLES NOVIA'S SCREEN TO TEST COMMENCES

Charles Novia is back again in his unusual characteristic manner with a reality show looking for 25 winners. The reality show tagged, Charles Novia’s Screen Test’ is a reality show that is set to discover stars and give them fantastic acting opportunities.
This project will be solely executed by November Productions, Novia’s formidable production outfit. Charles Novia has always been a firm advocate for talent discovery and talent development, especially in the movie industry and he aims to re-brand the Nigerian movie industry with this concept by taking millions of viewers through an extensive ‘script-to-screen’ process after auditioning hundreds of new talented actors who will be pruned down to a final training class of forty; after which a final twenty-five member cast will be selected to feature exclusively in a new Charles Novia movie, ‘Chariots of The Wind’. They will also be contracted to feature in two other television series from the stable of November Productions within the next eight months. A visual ‘from caterpillar to butterfly’ development process will be shown to primarily enhance respect for the thespian arts as well show the viewer the intellectual processes involved in directing.
According to Charles Novia, “the actors and actresses have to be new on the scene. That’s what I’m looking out for. They must also be talented; that’s a factor. At the end of the day, we should all look forward to a fresh generation of talents who will be box office hits in Nollywood in a matter of time”.
This reality show will be beamed on syndicated network stations across Nigeria. Being one of the pioneer producers who supplied and supported Africa Magic on DSTV with outstanding content when the station opened in 2003, Novia’s reality show will also be broadcast on that platform as well as other international pay-tv stations across Africa and in the UK.
Forms for the reality show are on sale at all Zenith Bank branches across the country for N5000. The certified stamped teller will be presented on the day of audition at the National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos. The audition process will take three days in Lagos.
Novia is the creative hands behind hit movies such as ‘Real Love, The Bridesmaid, Missing Angel, Caught In The Middle, You Broke My Heart, Atlanta, Husband and Wife, When Love Dies and The Covenant Church.
