This first-ever dramatic comedy against the odds of a linear economy will use a broad variety of key elements from the Nollywood film industry and genre, with a focus on drama, comedy & romance. Have a look at the key elements we shall be considering here.
The main protagonist named Circularity will experience many various challenges related to a different way of consuming, producing and living together – in Nigeria, several other African countries and other parts of the world. The film will make use of the Circular Economy’s most important ‘action imperatives’ – such as refusing toxic components in a product, renovating and repurposing a building, regenerative agriculture, repairing electronic products, remanufacturing machines and more. Amongst Circularity’s most important obstacles are the barriers established by a linear economy – including outdated legislation, non-existent regulation and others.
Circularity’s philosophy is led by the United Nation’s five P’s for Sustainable Development, due to which she succeeds: she prefers long-term prosperity over short-term profits, always considers the Planet and takes care of the environment, and prefers Partnerships over competition. Circularity always involves the People around her rather than taking a selfish approach – and all of Circularity’s actions contribute and lead to Peace.
A creative young woman with a unique mindset and at the brink of divorce in her marriage has created a series of business ventures built on rubbish and nearly single-handedly takes over a city’s waste management – after the law has changed.
Join us on the journey of producing the first-ever dramatic comedy against the odds of a linear economy and help make it happen – check out the various sponsorship opportunities and contact us if you want to find out more!
To bring Circularity to life, your money or in-kind contributions are essential. We have the passion, professionalism, experience and expertise to make ‘Circularity’ happen – as the first-ever dramatic comedy about the life of a young female protagonist with a ‘circular’ mindset, entertaining and educating millions of people around the globe about a different way of consuming, producing and living together.
If you can subscribe to that overall objective, please consider joining us by working with us or coming on board as a sponsor.
Financial contributions
We offer the sponsorship packages below, with their full details and proposed conditions to be published at the end of October 2021. Financial contributions can be either a grant or a loan while we will focus on attracting grants initially to keep our financial pressure to a minimum. Loans that come with good conditions will also be welcome and we look forward to reading from you.
In order to move to pre-production, we need to raise at least 100 Million Naira (200 000 Euro), which will cover our initial investments and allow us to move towards production including shooting outside Nigeria.
Here are the sponsorship opportunities we are currently developing:
In-kind contributions
Circularity needs more than money; location partnerships are required with Nigerian and other African companies with successful circular business models such as:
Tell us about your circular economy journey and why we should shoot at your location (at no cost).
Other in-kind contributions are welcome and will be considered.
The time is ripe for at least three things – which is why we have come together to produce the first-ever dramatic comedy featuring a female protagonist with a circular mindset, and made in Nigeria.
Circularity will demonstrate what a small budget for a dramatic comedy can do to entertain and educate millions of people around the world about the concerns for humanity, the economy and the planet.
