This project consists of the production of collection 1 of 4 wonderful African TABA short films from the writing residency organized by the Tell And Be Africa association from March 20 to April 2, 2023 in Yaoundé, this to compensate for the insufficiency of inspiring African films that exalt youth. After the rewrite, we decided to see the project through to the end by helping to produce its beautiful scenarios, in order to prevent them from ending up abandoned in drawers due to lack of resources. We realized that conventional box offices support short films less and less.

These are great stories and we need you to bring them to life!

The four directors come from 3 African countries: Cameroon, Benin and Senegal.

This amount will be used for the following steps:

- Complete the shoots - Post-production - Promotion

Here are the pitches for the 4 films:
