South Africa-based Nigerian creative entrepreneur, Fabian Adeoye Lojede has announced the global launch of Prodculator, an innovative platform designed to streamline film tax incentives, financing, and investment matchmaking within the entertainment industry.

Lojede said as the global film industry continues to grow, navigating tax incentives and securing financing remains a major challenge for creatives, and that Prodculator is a game-changer, bridging the gap between film producers and funders while demystifying the complex world of tax rebates.

Prodculator empowers filmmakers, producers, and investors by allowing them to calculate tax rebates and connect with potential funders worldwide.

Lojede, whose company DEO Media Limited, is behind the innovation, said: “For instance, a Nigerian filmmaker looking to shoot in South Africa or the UK can use the platform to calculate available tax rebates in those countries within minutes,” Lojede explained.

While many African countries, including Nigeria, lack robust tax incentive programmes, Prodculator still offers creatives access to funding opportunities and helps investors discover projects to support. The platform also facilitates direct connections between filmmakers and investors interested in supporting productions through grants, rebates, and private financing.

The launch of Prodculator comes at a pivotal moment, as filmmakers seek more efficient ways to finance their projects and maximize government incentives. By offering a transparent, efficient, and data-driven approach, Prodculator aims to unlock new funding opportunities for filmmakers globally.

This platform is one of several innovative projects from Lojede and his team at DEO Media. Other upcoming releases include Afrotods, a children-focused content platform, a soon-to-be-launched YouTube channel, and a creative masterclass platform, all set to launch later this year.
