Hello,
I am Ludovic, cofounder and CTO of Afrostream.
You are right the "African culture" in two words, doesn't exist in fact.There are a lot of different cultures in Africa. Do you know that Nigeria is the second or third producers of movies and series (behind India, and sometimes, USA :) ) Ghana is very productive too. West Africa (Senegal, Mali, Cameroon, Ivroy Coast...) have some interested movies too. Our goal is to show the difference, and to spread the word about these cultures.
- steve19 11y agoInteresting, I did not know that about Nigeria. it sounds like you are focusing on importing West African cinema into the USA, which does make sense. Good luck. BTW, what is one Nigerian firm you would recommend?

- liotier 11y agoHow will you deal with language variety ? Original soundtrack in Xhosa ? Wolof with French subtitles ? How would anyone even subtitle Nouchi in English ? Dubbed with more care than your average Nollywood cookie-cutter family drama ? Or dubbed like a cheap telenovella ? Multiple audio & sub options ? You contract the post-production yourself ? Je wanda grave !
- lbostral 11y agoWe are working with some people all over the world for subtitling and dubbing. We will not dub massively, we prefer people discover contents in their original format, with subtitles in their languages. we will dub in certain cases, though, with the good people.
