Today where a person’s user experience is of utmost importance, finding a platform where all your film and entertainment needs will be satisfied, although these might seem like a tall order. Several international media try to meet users’ needs with very little success. There is no tailor-made African content that serves as a one-stop shop for African film content.
AfroDB is a fan-based website customized in a mainstream way of accessing information on film and television. The streaming service integrates into the same website that provides movie reviews, ratings, filmographies, and entertainment news.
It was created for Africans to have an all-encompassing platform of a heterogeneous collection of on-screen content. Whether the idea is to binge-watch the newest series that everyone is talking about, see when the next episode of your favourite show will be released, or look up the filmography of your famous actor, AfroDB is the one-stop-shop for all.
Optimized to suit mobile, iPad, and large screens, AfroDB has various movies for streaming both old and new content. Its video quality ranges from 3gp to High Definition with stereo sound audio quality.
Below are some of the features that exemplify AfroDB from others:
Free streaming
While the on-demand streaming market is a subscription-based service, AfroDB takes a different approach. It has a lineup of free movies that expands weekly. Whether you are a viewer looking for family-friendly content, romance or horror, there is something for everyone on AfroDB.
Filmography
Remember how you would be fascinated or curious about an actor and would want to check them out immediately? There is no need to go on google only to discover that your person of interest has no Wikipedia page. With AfroDB, you can slide from the ‘streaming’ feature to the ‘people’ feature and dig up every tiny bit of information about the personality.
Topical issues
No celebrity or movie content is making the waves that AfroDB cannot beam its searchlights. AfroDB publishes news that you may never find on the gram.
Production details
Did you know that the details of a movie or series production is almost as important as the film itself? Knowing the cast and crew, the release date, and even the genre makes you not only knowledgeable about the movie but lets you speak authoritatively about its basics.
Reviews
There’s nothing more annoying than knowing you spent one or more hours of your time watching a movie and TV show with a storyline that runs adrift or is entirely adversarial to the kind that interests you. Seeing the reviews of others helps give perspective and prepares you for what is to come.
The founders of AfroDB, Akin Kongi, Ade Adesida and Adejuwon Saheed, said that AfroDB hopes to deliver high-value African content to the world. We are a comprehensive platform for movies and music videos in Africa, with biographies of actors, directors, producers, scriptwriters, lights engineers, camera operators and people who work on a film set to showcase their work to the world from the1920 to date.
Adejuwon further said, “We are creating a data source where all content on African film and its related activities are curated and presented; these are the continent’s most robust Film data.”
Adesida, in a final statement, mentioned that AfroDB would provide a recommendation system for the entertainment industry through the data captured and stored. This data will help understand the strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced by the Entertainment industry in Africa.”
