We're running an online crowdfunder for our educational kids cartoon show Bino & Fino. Here is a link to the campaign page. http://igg.me/p/221599?a=34228 . It is to help raise the capital to produce a full season of the show.

Here's a write up about the crowdfunder.

Created by Adamu Waziri, a Nigerian animator and produced by his company EVCL, Bino and Fino is an African educational cartoon show, currently in production, about a brother and sister who live in a modern day city in sub- Saharan Africa. In each episode Bino and Fino, with the help of their friend Zeena the Magic Butterfly and their family, discover and learn things about the world. The show is for children mainly between the ages of 3 and 6. The series teaches aspects of African history, culture and languages to them. To help make the completed 26 episode full 1st season possible, your assistance is needed.

The filmmakers want to raise $50,000 in 45 days. They currently have a 24-minute TV feature of the cartoon show which has been broadcast in the UK, South Africa, online for free and at festivals to a growing fan base of kids and parents. Here are some quotes from fans on the show's Facebook Page.
‘I LOVE BINO AND FINO, and so does my son!!!’
‘We don’t have African cartoons so this coming now is a breath of fresh air. But I’d love it if kids can get to watch it on local stations. Job well done.’
‘Our daughter, 19 months old, just counted to 10 in Yoruba while watching Bino and Fino!’

With the funds raised, they will be able to produce the 26 episode season and get it to market. $50,000 is only part of the budget needed. The project has already received production funding from various private investors and institutions. The show has been featured on Vox Africa, CNN, the BBC amongst others. It's also already received interest from sales agents, broadcasters and distributors.

The goal is a 2013 debut of the series.
