ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Kennysoft Film Academy (KFA) is a leading creative institution in Nigeria dedicated to nurturing the next generation of filmmakers, animators, and digital storytellers.
Founded with the vision to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity, KFA provides world-class training that combines hands-on practical experience with a deep understanding of the creative business landscape.
We are more than just a film school — we are a creative launchpad where passion meets purpose, ideas turn into motion, and creativity becomes a career.
At Kennysoft Film Academy, every student is empowered to think, create, and innovate for the fast-evolving creative economy.
OUR STORY
Kennysoft Film Academy was established as part of Kennysoft STUDIOs, one of Nigeria’s foremost creative production companies. After years of producing commercials, films, and brand content for top organizations, we recognized a growing need — young creatives with technical skill but no structured training.
KFA was born to meet that need — providing affordable, accessible, and industry-relevant education in film, animation, and creative media. Since its inception, the Academy has trained hundreds of students across Nigeria, many of whom now work in TV stations, production companies, media startups, and content agencies — or have launched their own creative businesses.
Today, KFA continues to evolve as a hub for creative innovation and career development, combining education, mentorship, and real-world industry exposure.
Our Vision
To become Africa’s leading training hub for creative professionals — empowering the next generation of storytellers and innovators to shape the global film and media landscape.
Our Mission
To provide high-quality, practical, and industry-relevant training in film, animation, and creative media that equips students with the skills, confidence, and entrepreneurial mindset needed to succeed in the creative economy.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe creativity is the new currency of the modern world.
At KFA, learning goes beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to explore, experiment, and collaborate on projects that mirror real-world creative challenges.
Our approach blends:
- Practical Training – Every course is hands-on and project-based.
- Industry Mentorship – Students learn directly from professionals who work in the field.
- Career Readiness – We train students not only to create but also to thrive in the business side of the creative industry.
OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
Our leadership consists of experienced filmmakers, creative directors, and industry professionals who bring decades of combined experience in film, television, and media production. Together, they ensure that every program at Kennysoft Film Academy meets global standards while remaining relevant to the African creative landscape.
