MaximillianGroup's "They Say" Earns Prestigious Selection at the African Film Festival in Kenya

SAN DIEGO - Nov. 11, 2023 - PRLog -- MaximillianGroup, a trailblazing digital marketing company, is thrilled to announce that their poignant short film, "They Say," has been selected to participate in the esteemed African Film Festival, held in the vibrant city of Kisumu, Kenya. This follows the honor the short film received at the G African Film Festival where it placed as a Finalist in the category of Political Short Films.  These films and two other short films, produced in collaboration with Gambian spoken word poet Muhammed Dibbasey, have captivated audiences and garnered acclaim for their unique storytelling and artistic around the world this year.

"They Say", "I Like Words", "Attitude" and "Sleepless Nights" have been selected for prestigious festivals in the United Kingdom, the United States, Pakistan, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, and Russia, demonstrating the global appeal and relevance of their powerful narratives.

"Muhammed Dibbasey's work is a testament to the profound impact of storytelling and its ability to resonate across borders and cultures," said Max Barrett, Founder and CEO of MaximillianGroup. "We are honored to be part of this creative journey and to see our films recognized on such esteemed platforms."

At MaximillianGroup our goal was to forge a production approach that maximized quality while minimizing costs. We didn't anticipate Film Festivals or accolades. Instead, our aim was to pioneer an economical pathway for poets and storytellers to share their narratives with top-tier production. The success we've achieved in both awards and recognition underscores the viability of this process and pathway. In underserved nations and communities, arts and crafts often serve as primary economic drivers. Writers, poets, and storytellers generate content that's truly exceptional. However, our consumption of the written word has evolved. To monetize and foster a sustainable economic impact, providing audio and visual representations of their work becomes paramount. Storytelling is a huge part of West African tradition and culture.

MaximillianGroup is committed to supporting talent from underserved communities and nations, and through strategic partnerships and innovative marketing approaches, the agency aims to empower and uplift creative individuals like Muhammed Dibbasey.
