AFRICA
We need to find people that would want to work with us all over Africa, but specifically in Nigeria, Kenya, Cameroon, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire.
1) Music / Photography / Film / Art: We are putting together a TV show, radio show and live music event for 2008 to celebrate greatness in African talent. We are looking for people on ground who are making things happen.
2) Inspiration & Social Issues: We are also looking to commission short documentaries to explore what inspires young people in Africa and get a deeper understanding of what the main social issues are. We will be working with a brand that is looking to develop educational programs in underprivileged places.
CULT-GUIDE
We are creating a worldwide CULT-GUIDE - a book of all of the stuff that we think is cool in each city. We're looking for people around the world to contribute: Artists (music & art), clubs, promoters, festivals, parties, etc. Everyone that participates will get a copy. We'll use this guide to hook people up with each other and as a tool to get new projects. Send us stuff if you are interested.
