Content aggregator ReelAfrican is offering African film makers the opportunity to access audiences from across the globe and is calling on the continent s film and television content producers to submit their content.

ReelAfrican reaches a wide audience, including the African diaspora market in the United States, through strategic distribution agreements with key video-on-demand partners.

Manager of ReelAfrican Thabo Dabengwa explains why this is a good opportunity for African film makers, Reel African is a feasible platform for African talent because they re able to benefit through the revenue sharing business model. We re also able to offer film makers access to US markets and all the exposure that comes with this.

ReelAfrican has access to over 400 million devices, five million of which reach the African diaspora in the United States and in the Caribbean. ReelAfrican content that has proven most popular on these platforms so far is drama series. This is followed by comedies, documentaries and movies.

Dabengwa adds, As one of the leading video-on-demand providers of high quality African content ReelAfrican already has relationships with over 30 content partners across the continent. But there are so many other good quality productions being made and our model goes a long way to recognising those shaping Africa s rapidly growing entertainment industry.

Potential content providers should submit their content or direct their queries via the ReelAfrican website.
