SEEKING STORYTELLERS

ONLINE video streaming service Netflix in collaboration with the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) is searching for storytellers from the sub-Saharan Africa region to enter a short-film contest where six finalists will have their films made on a production budget of $75 000 and will premiere on Netflix in 2022. “We believe that a great story can come from anywhere and be loved everywhere” Netflix said this week, adding it was excited by the fresh new voices that were ready to tell the stories.
