NETFLIX & UNESCO | Short Film Competition

Website - Filmmaker Search & Participant Registration

Role: Lead Producer (client) | Production Partner: MediaMonks. | Site: Netflix & UNESCO

In partnership with UNESCO, we opened a search for African filmmakers to elevate underrepresented screenwriters and filmmakers from Africa. African culture and heritage are rich in stories, from those hyper-local and universal in nature, we sought to find talented writers to participate in a mentorship and a “How to Pitch to Netflix” workshop.

This initiative intended to highlight the rich opportunities of African stories, while giving 6 aspiring storytellers an opportunity to work with industry experts in developing their own short films with the chance of them being featured on the Netflix platform.

The website was launched only in Africa and was localized in English, Portuguese, and French. We worked with a 3rd party vendor to collect and store portfolio and data submission.
