Studio

Jeffrey Oba Studios is a production company based in Lagos. We make films that hold feeling: for brands that want to be remembered, and for the culture that raised us. Every project begins the same way, with a story worth sitting still for.

What we make

  • Brand films.
  • Narrative films.
  • Documentaries.
  • Music videos.

From treatment to final grade: writing, direction, production, post.
