Here comes January, the month when we review our eventful lives. The start of a new year represents a checkpoint, as it offers us a chance to look back on what was accomplished and look ahead to what is to come.

As we embark on a new year, we have spent the first few days reviewing our strategy, operations and plans for 2019. We are convinced that our strategy and discipline will hold us in good stead through good and bad times.

Here at Genesis Studios, we believe the best production is the one that best fulfills our viewers’/clients’ current and future expectations/needs. Therefore, we consider several options before recommending our productions for our clients. This year we have a new Season of Tales of Eve and So Wrong So Wright 2.0 (Season 3) productions planned to delight our viewers with.

It is very easy to make New Year Resolutions, or any other decision at any other time of the year. Most times, we make the decisions in response to some emotion. However, people quite soon, lose the motivation and enthusiasm, and continue living the same kind of life.

Rather than making the resolutions a decision, it’s advisable to see them as ‘intentions’.   Intentions can only be realized if an individual has a clear idea of where they want to be headed, or what the change would be in terms of new behaviour patterns or routines.

As you step into the New Year, remember to smile, laugh, rejoice with those who celebrate and share happiness along the way, all year round.

We wish you a pleasant and productive New Year!

“A woodsman was once asked, “What would you do if you had just five minutes to chop down a tree?” He answered, “I would spend the first two and a half minutes sharpening my axe.”

Counting down to the end of year, we are taking stock of our successes, and reaching out to those that have touched us positively, is the essence of the season.  It is indeed a good time to have a review of the highlights of 2018.

We sharpened our tools, worked hard to uphold our high standards and kept the flag flying. We have continuously transformed the way we operate so as to uphold the provision of cutting edge media services to our clients.

In 2018, we launched the second season of So Wrong So Wright 2.0 which is currently being aired on Africa Independent Television (AIT) and Television Continental (TVC). One of the most significant events of the year was the launching and full activation of our newest production, The Price Is Right Nigeria.

This year saw Genesis Studios working with different strategic partners and top brands to create awareness about the longest-running television show, The Price Is Right Nigeria. This has helped our clients to show brand strengths and responsibility

What Next?

For 2019, in response to the current trends and demands, we have expanded our reach to effectively work with various clients in every part of the world.

We are set to make the New Year a profoundly rewarding year for our clients with the many opportunities each of our productions – Tales of Eve, So Wrong So Wrong, The Price Is Right Nigeria – and other shows we are about to launch can provide.

Thank you for making 2018 a remarkable year for us, we hope the New Year will also be a profitable one.

As the world celebrates World Television Day, we at Genesis Studios celebrate the television, one of the most powerful forms of media for communication and information dissemination.

For many years, we have used the television to create awareness and to increase cultural diversity. We understand how the television plays a key role in presenting issues affecting people and this we have exposed through some of dramas: Tales of Eve & So Wrong So Wright

In 1996, UN General Assembly proclaimed November 21 as World Television Day to commemorate the date on which the first World Television Forum was held earlier that year. The UN invited all member states to observe the day by encouraging global exchanges of television programs focusing, among other things, on issues such as peace, security, economic and social development and cultural change enhancements.

The television has shown its strength in the following area:

Authority:

Though in this era of social medium, information is everywhere, but the television has a peculiar authority. Once a programme airs, you know millions of people are seeing it and it has been vetted and created by professionals

Education:

The TV cures our curiosity. Television broadens the mind by exposing people to various cultures, planets and what happens in different part of the world. For example, without TV stations like NatGeo Wild and Discovery Channel we might not know what some animals or birds look like.

Communities:

Television programmes creates communities. TV shows bind people together and trigger reactions on the various social networks. A typical example is Games of Thrones, The sentence “Winter is Coming” starts conversations about the next episode/season of the series.

Sports:

Without television, professional sports would not be recognized. We all enjoy watching our favourite sports on the various sport channels.

Job Creation:

The television employs millions of skilled labour worldwide. From Content Creators, Producers, Cinematographers, Sound Designers, Make-up and Wardrobe Stylists, Stunts guys to Directors, the success of a production creates jobs and generates revenues.

Good Causes:

Television gives voice to a good cause. It gives voice to all those in troubled zones, natural disasters and emergencies.

In line with these, the television is still very important despite the world’s dependence on Social Media and today portrays that.
