Profile

I am excited to submit my application for the MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) program, as it aligns with my passion for animation, CGI, and filmmaking. As a dedicated animator, CGI artist, and filmmaker, I am driven by a desire to tell powerful stories that highlight the diverse experiences of African cultures. The MTF program offers a unique platform to further develop my technical expertise and creative abilities while collaborating with talented individuals from across the continent. My experience in animation and CGI has allowed me to explore the visual storytelling process in innovative ways, combining cutting-edge technology with African narratives. One of my notable works is my short film, Tenes ("Stand"), which reflects themes of resilience and hope. I am currently in preproduction for a full CGI animation that explores the topic of disability, a project close to my heart that I believe can make a positive impact. Through MTF, I aim to enhance my skills and gain the industry insights needed to bring such stories to life in an even more compelling way. In addition to my creative and technical background, I am committed to contributing to the African film industry by using film as a tool to address important social issues and represent diverse voices. The hands-on experience and mentorship offered by MTF would enable me to refine my craft, elevate my storytelling, and develop into a leader in Africa’s creative landscape. Being part of the MTF program would be a significant step in my journey to becoming a well-rounded filmmaker, CGI artist, and animator. I am eager to learn from industry professionals, collaborate with fellow creatives, and ultimately make a lasting impact in the African film industry. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to grow and contribute through this transformative program. Sincerely, Abel Getachew
