We’ve been talking to producers, line producers, and crew across Africa and beyond. Here’s what they told us they need.
“Finding a reliable DP for a short turnaround is always stressful. A verified marketplace where I can see real credits and reach out directly would save us days on every production.”
“As a freelance editor, I spend too much time chasing leads through WhatsApp groups. A proper platform with verified profiles would make it so much easier to find the right projects.”
“The integration with PREP Workspace is the part I’m most excited about. Having crew sourcing and production planning in the same ecosystem is exactly what we’ve been missing.”
