THE ENTREPRENEUR

Founder of Instant2Vie, Charly Kodjo is a young Ivorian producer. He holds a training certificate in audiovisual and cinematographic production from the National School of Image and Sound in Paris (FEMIS).

His vision is to tell the world and Africans a new imaginary of Africa. This vision is reflected in the choice of his projects, including the award-winning series HERE IT IS BABI.

Charly Kodjo has also produced three documentaries presenting three models of African success: The Charlettes, co-produced with Al Jazeera, reveals the life of Charlette Désiré, a young Ivorian geek who created facial recognition software. The Paris of victory, a 52-minute documentary, follows Cheick Cissé, taekwondo world champion and bronze medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as he prepares for the Olympic Games. Finally, Pathé Dione, a 52-minute biographical documentary, explores the inspiring journey of the founder of the SUNU group.

In May 2024, Charly Kodjo and Instant2Vie won the DEENTAL prize from the CNC (National Center for Cinema and the Animated Image) which rewards the best audiovisual production company in Africa.

THE ACCELERATION PROJECT

Through its support from Afrique Créative, Instant2Vie wishes to respond to several challenges, notably the absence of a production studio operating across the entire value chain in Côte d'Ivoire; high post-production costs; and the lack of qualified human resources in the field.

The company offers the establishment of a post-production studio that takes care of all the major stages of post-production, namely sound, image, calibration, mixing. It also intends to train a competent team and acquire quality equipment to be competitive.

This project will increase the studio's production capacity and position itself as a major player in audiovisual production in Africa.
