All of this to precede another 12-weeks of final film-shooting.

I’ve a film making Company, named Milestone Advertising plc, based its headquarter in Addis Ababa- the Capital of Ethiopia, and permanent seat of AU.
Under this company is a well organized professional team, comprising diverse mix of required creative staff and technical people, maily engaged in the making of Tv entertainment programs and documentary films. the team consists of a director, a cameraman, and an assistant cameraman, as well as crew’s coordinator, not to mention the vidoe editor and studio operators. Our crew has tremendous technical skills and creative insights which lends to all the tasks of Milestone’s filmmaking.
Such production capability are here with us that can be evidenced in the piece of works this same team has already accomplished so far.
If provided with necessary fundings, we have a lot more, in terms of creativity, scripts and characters, or subjects we can make a basis for concepts,or ideas and production inputs. moreover, I would onece again mention that Milestone Advertsing plc is good at the making of Tv episodes and drama series programs, a task we are is currently working on with the the biggest and the only existing public National broadcasting agency- Ethiopian Television and Radio Agency.

Interested funding agencies would therefore be requested for their support, to work with our team on the creative tasks of prodction of films we medntioned earlier, and they can enjoy our immediate response and practical moves into performing of the tasks practically.
thank you
