Donation protected

Hi I am Sen, an indie creative director and a curator of the African animation industry, I am African, Nigerian, but currently live in UK with my own family.

Last year together with 2 other creative outfits, Cg Africa and Epoch Comics and with the support from the owner of the channel AskNK on youtube, Chuks from Madbox studios and Femi also from CG Africa and a children book publisher, we staged the first event tagged The African Animated shorts Experience and it was truly an experience, not only did we manage to attract animated shorts from all over Africa from Egypt to Kenya to Uganda to South Africa, Nigeria, to Ghana etc we also had comic books and novels from African creators of which Martin from Epoch Comics was one and PEDA comics too etc.

The entry from Behager Lij from the horn of Africa won the Audience Award with their amazing entry

and we duly posted delivered to them their award trophy and issued certificates for all participants.

We were able to run this first event on a very tight sponsor budget, sadly this time we do not have the luxury of such sponsorship and at the risk of not being able to run a second event this year, it's already billed for September 2024.

To make this a reality and not just a dream based on hopes, we ask you to consider JUST GIVING to us to support this second event. The plan is to make a bigger activity in 2025 on a film festival level and to do this we need to speak to sponsors who will need to see a track record of our event, being able to have this second event will no doubt be a good track record in addition to the first one from last year 2023.

This budgeted fund goes towards the following and more:

Venue Hire which is about £800 or more as we want a space with audio visuals in place and an overhead projection.
Remuneration for the 4 invited speakers/panellist to cover their transportation aswell. £400
Publicity - Banners and flyers design and print, Digital certificates. £350
Professional video promo with voice-overs £350
Award prize and delivery to winner £150
Creative equipment £150
Comic delivery and print £200
Medals of honour and appreciation £200
Miscellaneous and Contingency 20% takes us just over £3000

Please help create a strong drive for this goal to be achieved in as soon as possible for planning purposes, otherwise we can not book the venue.

We will be happy to list and display the names and country of all the donors on the final end screen.

Thank you... Now let's do this please!
