Hi my name is Belema and I want to welcome you to Sahara the Movie dot com. I'm a producer of film and television. I've put this site together to help realize a dream of mine, and, with the support of people like you, it is already coming true! I strongly believe this is an amazing opportunity so please read on.
So I am going to make a movie. Unfortunately, movies aren't cheap and aren't easy to finance. I've developed this concept of democratic fundraising because I don't know any big executive or Nollywood power brokers that would help get this made.
"Without the big machine, you can push yourself to tell stories in a way that you normally wouldn't tell them. With that freedom and lack of pressure, innovators are better positioned to take bigger leaps. " Gary Winick Producer/Director "Charlotte's Web"
I knew I had to come up with a more creative way to raise the funds, either I donate my body for science or try and find "Angel" investors who would just hand me the money. I wanted to give the public the opportunity to participate in the process but I wasn't sure how to go about letting the world know of my plan. I figured that the Internet was the best place to start.
After a lot of research I came up with the idea why not sell the frames of the film to the public. So I am providing a site where people and companies can purchase frames in which to post video or still images for people to see, they can link those frames to their own website for further viewing.
Purchasers could not only receive advertising and website traffic for their money, but in the event that the film makes a profit, they will be able to select a charity to donate profits to, proportional to the number of frames they've purchased . you also have behind the scene access as the movie is beign produced, choose the cast and crew, be my guest on the set and meet the celebrities, and so much more
If you don't have any video to post or you aren't a company, you can still buy individual frames, own a piece of my film and help the fight against human trafficking and migration worldwide. Now, helping those trafficked can be as little as $10 or N1500.
I hope you enjoy your time here and I appreciate any and all support you lend to making this dream come true.
