Africa Call for Applications - CreaTech Animation Incubator Cohort

Call for Applications

The Africa Digital Media Foundation (ADMF), in association with the Heva Fund, AFD, the European Union, the French Embassy in Kenya, and the Association of Animation Artistes, is launching the third cohort of the CreaTech Animation Incubator in order to equip talented East African animators with an investor-ready pitch that they can use to attract investment and pitch at local, regional, and international festivals.

Individual animators and teams with the most engaging, outstanding, and distinctive animated series project ideas are invited to apply to participate as fellows in this unique incubator.

Adapted from ADMF’s Scale-up Accelerator, the Incubator will provide 20 animators or teams with the mentorship they need to develop relevant animated projects that speak to both a local and global audience.

The CreaTech Incubator will be a 12-week BootCamp that will include mentoring and high-level training with established industry professionals. Experts will include industry experts in animation, storytelling, music, and sound, as well as international broadcasters, distributors, and sales agents.

The teams will receive technical training to refine their animation projects and pitches, as well as market training to position their projects for success with investments and festivals.

Women animators are encouraged to apply and take advantage of this unique opportunity that will not only serve as a great platform to showcase their work but also offers avenues for them to interact directly with industry.

We believe such interactions are key in addressing the gender imbalance in the film and animation industries both regionally and globally.

Topics will include:
