“We are not just going to be rolling out in a big way, we are intentional about making the 20th edition the best AMAA that will celebrate the gathering of over 60 film practitioners and creatives. This is what our late sister and founder, Peace Maria Ogechi Anyiam-Osigwe had been planning and wished for before her death, and we will actualise the dream to the glory of God,” he said.
