Donation protected
Dew Media Production is an independent media production company that is fundraising to produce a documentary film about the arts finding a home in Africa! Dew Media will be producing this feature-length documentary in the summer of 2023. This film is about a man named Billy Osemwegie (The owner of the largest art collection in West Africa) from Benin city, Nigeria who has curated Nigeria’s First Fine Arts Museum. The funding for this film will help the filmmakers travel to Africa and film the countries traditional culture, the incredible people involved in the creation of the museum, some of the artist behind the works and the museum founder who sought out to bring the arts to Africa! We will document and share the incredibly inspirational 10+ year journey to bring Africa into the world of fine arts, as it unfolds before the world and Nigerian public for the first time!
All of the funding and proceeds will go towards location fees, gear rentals, crew fees, project finishing/editing cost and film festival entries. This magnificent story/journey of a unique man who had sought out to bring some of the most incredible works of art to Africa - Dew Media would love to share this visually striking and heartwarming story, of his love of the arts with the world!
