Ifaliana Randriamanalina ooh!! Did you have any specific project ideas for animated films regarding your culture? Or style comps?

Welcome Ifaliana Randriamanalina. Storytelling through the eyes of someone from Madagascar using animation opens so many possibilities. I can't help but think of stories like the 2017 film Coco, which educated and entertained about Mexican culture. Whether it's a short or feature or streaming series, never give up. Your voice is needed.

Ifaliana Randriamanalina good to know about you and your passion to create an animated story based on Malagasy culture. Culturally rooted stories are always a great addition and as, a writer i could help to create original story based on the Malagasy culture and possibly with your approval i could develop a Story Treatment then will see how it goes. let me know DM me. looking forward, thanks!

Thank you for your welcome and encouraging feedback.

I really like Alive Film, but I personally choose to write for an animated film that highlights Malagasy culture, because I have not yet found an animated film project that truly represents Malagasy identity. When I search for Malagasy animated films, the animated film "Madagascar" often comes up, but there is no mention of Madagascar in this cartoon, the only thing that identifies it as Malagasy is the title and a lemur.

I already have a project in development, I will show Malagasy food preparation, Malagasy game, famous places in a region of Madagascar, I will also provide Malagasy music.

My project is a drama genre
