Didn't they film "Mad Max Fury Road" in Namibia? Yea, I've heard of you... :)
On a serious note, kudos and If you're racing for the 2022 Oscars, all the best all the way...
On the other hand, Academy winning is voting like anything else...you sure have politicians in your country, check out how they win harts&minds of the voters...overhyping some, but sure that might be the way as well...big players involve money as well, but there is a chance for beginners time to time...best recent example is this duo from my country got nominated twice in 2020 best foreign film and best documentary...Tamara and Ljubo being one of the modest filmmakers I know, be sure to talk to people like this, sponge their experiences and how they've made it to the Oscars

Hey Kiril
Thank you for your advice, yes Mad max was filmed there, as well as some parts of A space Odessy and others.
I have learned quite a lot on this journey, even doing this now with the Oscars.
