- Do you have an eye for a good story and can you tell stories in a super-engaging way? - Are you bubbly and confident? - Do you have a good voice? - Do you have great charisma? - Do you have a video camera or a good smart phone to record your story/stories with? - Are you happy to be seen and heard? If yes, we are looking for you. We are looking for video storytellers across Africa and beyond. People who can help us show the world (through their stories) the beauty of Africa and the African people. We say Africa *and beyond because even if you don't live in Africa but you have an African experience (e.g you attend an African cultural event outside Africa, or maybe you come across an African artist outside of Africa and you can make up an inspiring story from such an encounter), you could share that experience with us. Please get in touch if you are interested. Our budget is $50 per story. The duration of a story is dependent on content and can be anywhere between 2-5 minutes long. We can provide filming tips and guidelines, if necessary, but being able to identify and produce a good story in a creative way is even more important. If you can edit your video stories yourself, that's a plus but it's not a necessity. This is a vision that's close to our heart and we are looking for like-minded individuals who are keen to tell great stories about Africa and the African people; stories that can inspire other people and showcase places, people and things of interest across Africa. PLEASE provide a sample of any video that you've done in the past. Above anything else, we want to see what you look and sound like (as we are after confident storytellers/reporters). We would also like to see how good you are at producing stories. Here are samples of engaging stories other people are making around the world: -[login to view URL] (Obviously we not expecting you to make travel expenses or take drone shots, unless of course you own a drone, but this can give you an idea of what we mean by viewer-engaging videos and stories) [login to view URL] (This particular example could be better in terms of visual quality and presentation but it shows we are quite interested in seeing some piece-to-camera shots, etc) [login to view URL] We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your interest. If any questions at all, please feel free to ask.

Hello guys! I am SO happy I came across your vision and project. I have been traveling to 50 countries all over the world, including Tanzania last year where I was interacting with locals and stayed with local people. I have now many friends who are from Tanzania, who lives there where few of them are musicians for ex. I have been doing videos since I was a kid, although nothing professional yet but that is definetly the next step in my travel and fimmaking career. I can imagine that I am for sure what you are looking for. however I am not gonna rush anything , and this would be purely out of passion for me. I would love to know abit more, and possibly have a Skype session with you to understand your vision better. Your vision is just what I have aswell and this is what I want to do in my life. Create videos through storytelling etc. I have the skills to put together a video, through clips etc. also my personality is very full of energy and a good vibe. I am even thinking about going down to tanzania after the european summer to meet with my friends and do volontering. This project is exactly what I could be doing while I'm there as I want the real african vibe in the video. If you are looking for a passionate travelguru that loves making videos and do storytelling here I am. looking forward for cooperation!
