Agbor Gilbert Ebot (born 8 January 1983 in Tiko) is a Cameroonian film producer.[1][2]
Early life
Gilbert was born to Cameroonian and Nigerian parents. His father is a Cameroonian from Mamfe in Manyu Division while his mother came from Cross River state in Nigeria.[3] He studied at the Government Technical High School (GTHS) in Mamfe where he studies engineering.
Career
Agbor Gilbert did not attend any technical school for film but he became so visionary and experienced that he held others to exploit the film industry. In 2003, he met Jeta Amata, Fred Amata, Olu Jacobs and Rita Dominic in Calabar while they were shooting a movie. He often visited the location as he was always sent out of class on account of not having the right textbooks or tools. Each time he returned to the location, he would sit there and help as a production assistant on the set, and that is how his interest in film grew.[3]
After all his struggles, he is now a film maker and producer of various popular movies like before the sunrise, pink poison and blue kingdoms. His additional strength came from his engagements with other actors from Nigeria like Ramsey Noah, Dakore Egbuson and Zack Orji. Prince Agbor Gilbert is one of the Founding Members and Public Relations Officer of Cameroon Film Industry and also the founder and president of the Cameroon Film Festival( CAMIFF).
