  Description

  Hello my name is Gbossa. I am the co-founding director of a small audiovisual company, which tends to become a large production house. I have to my credit a small recording, video and photography studio. I work there with a few collaborators, each in their section. I devote myself more to filmmaking from now on. However, I would like to see this structure grow and organize myself better so as to be able to achieve the major objective that I have set myself with my partners. That of promoting our music and our young talents on a global scale and of being able to highlight African cinema. I particularly need experience in organizing video shooting. So I think it would be an opportunity and a rewarding experience to share our achievements and our different methods to achieve the same goal. Here we have often worked and done our best with the bare minimum. We are doing quite well artistically, however it is so difficult to make a profit. Our tireless thirst for excellence always forces us to want more and to always push our limits. We all learn on our own. Which leads me to think that sharing varied experiences in this field, with people from all over the world, can only be beneficial for us. Whether you are a cameraman, director of photography, gaffer, scriptwriter or any showbiz actor, I would be delighted to welcome you to my home. It would be an honor for me to share food and lodging with you. However, as you may have guessed, my country is a Third World country, so I could only guarantee you accommodation with insurance. My house will be yours and we will share what we can with great pleasure. I just mean by that, it would be safer to plan a food budget for yourself just in case. For those who would eventually like to come with equipment for audiovisual production, we will be eternally grateful to you. Here I hope I have done the trick. See you very soon and look forward to meeting you.

  Help

  I would particularly like help with expertise and logistics. In particular a contribution of experiment, knowledge and material being able to be useful in the field of the audio-visual one. I am convinced that I have a lot to learn from volunteers about the management of an audio visual label, take advantage of the various techniques of sound and image professionals, learn from the experiences of other artists, etc..

  Accommodation

  The volunteers will be staying with me and will share with us our living conditions and our passions in the good atmosphere.
  I saw a two rooms that I will share with the volunteers. In case there is not enough room, I can always accommodate some friends and partners to me here safely. I will pay the rent without any problem. I have electricity and water. A clean shower and a clean toilet. A large yard for outdoor play. However the rooms are not super big. But can accommodate up to 3 people. The house I rent is located in a very good neighbourhood and not far from the road.

  What else ...

  The financial aspect is quite important in my region. Many underestimate the cost of living here. So be rather provident. Once on the field I would really like the volunteers to stick to the advice I would give them in order to spend a pleasant stay among us. But I reassure you right away, there is no danger .
  
  L'aspect financier est assez important dans ma région. Nombreux sont ceux qui sous estime le coût de la vie ici . Alors soyez plutôt prévoyant . Une fois sur le terrain je souhaiterais vraiment que les volontaires s'en tiennent aux conseils que je leur donnerais afin de passer un agréable sejour parmi nous . Mais je vous rassure tout de suite , il n'y a aucun danger 😊
