[CUDO DAO] - FUNDING PROPOSAL FOR CUDO DAO [APRIL] - [2023]
DAO introduction
We are CUDO DAO - IMMIGRANT AUDIOVISUAL, made by Immigrants and designed to welcome immigrant professionals.
CUDO DAO was born in the May 2021 hackathon and since then we are one of the most productive DAOs in the entire ecosystem. Seeing the possibility of combining the most diverse projects with the support of NEAR PROTOCOL, we envisioned the opportunity to create a DAO focused on audiovisual made by Brazilian immigrants living in Portugal and designed to welcome and produce audiovisual for immigrants and natives from all over the world.
- Why team is best for the funds

He has experience as a Videomaker, Process Analyst, Cultural Producer, Musical Producer, Screenwriter and Director.

He has already been responsible for conducting the video editing work for NEAR CON 2021 thanks to @VideoDon invitation.

Thiago’s portfolio is diverse, include essays, products and portraits made in Brazil, Serbia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Hungary and Portugal.

*** Genre - What category does your DAO fall under**
- AUDIOVISUAL focused in MUSIC, CULTURE and Art
- Impact
Social, cultural and economic impact.
Throughout a year and a half of activity we were responsible for an economic impact on the lives of dozens of audiovisual workers in Portugal, Brazil, and other parts of the world. Thanks to our bounties managed throughout this trajectory, dozens of photographers, illustrators and writers were able to earn their first cryptos and realize that with their art it was indeed possible to generate some income.
Furthermore, with our larger productions such as CUBASHOTS, Retrato Falado, and MUTISESSION, we were able to ensure that larger technical teams were formed, thus generating income for sound technicians, studio rentals, camera crews, assistants, screenwriters, and producers.
Our impact is also worthwhile in the social sphere, reaching new artists who have had the opportunity to have their first works valued and exhibited on a worldwide platform.
Last but not least, with our work we were able to bring a professional structure, inaccessible to most artists, to record the work of promising musicians, visual artists, and dancers.
What we do at this DAO is look for ways to make resources available for projects that, when realized, employ people, push artists forward, and reveal capabilities.
