Consultant Film Maker

Summary

We are seeking the services of a skilled filmmaker to produce a high-quality video documentary to celebrate its 25 years of impact, community engagement, and empowerment.

The documentary will highlight the organisation's achievements, its journey, and its impact on communities across Nigeria, documenting stories of change, challenges, and progress over the years.

This video will serve as a key piece of content to support AAN’s legacy while inspiring continued support from stakeholders, donors, and the wider public.

Description

The documentation should help the audience to:

Recognise the transformative impact of ActionAid Nigeria’s work in improving the lives of women, men, youth, and children across communities.

Understand the integrity and transparency of ActionAid Nigeria’s processes. The organisation has consistently involved communities in decision-making, ensuring that initiatives are rooted in local needs and priorities. This approach fosters strong community ownership, making the programmes more resilient and self-sustaining, with impacts that endure well beyond the initial intervention.

Appreciate ActionAid Nigeria’s profound role in strengthening government institutions. This is not just capacity building; it’s about creating systems that will continue to function long after the organisation’s intervention to ensure a legacy of change.

Be compelled to share these stories of change. These stories are not just milestones in a book - they are a clarion call for action. By disseminating them, the audience will help amplify the successes and lessons learned, ensuring that the ripple effects of ActionAid’s work reach far beyond its direct beneficiaries.

Be motivated to act and sustain the movement.

Donors, partners, and stakeholders should see the continued impact of ActionAid’s work and feel an urgent need to continue supporting the organisation’s mission.

Tone and Style:

The tone of the documentary should be uplifting, inspiring, and reflective. It should avoid being overly formal, yet convey a sense of pride, progress, and optimism while maintaining authenticity and sincerity.

The style of the film should focus on the human stories behind ActionAid, highlighting real-life experiences. It should include personal reflections and emotional narratives from interviewees - people we work with, past leadership, current and past staff, donors, and partners.

The film should blend interviews, available footage, B-roll shots, photos, and archival information, including footage of community activities to build a well-rounded narrative.

The storytelling should be visual, relying on simple yet powerful imagery to convey the impact of AAN’s work.
