Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing industries, sparking conversations, and reshaping our world. Now, it’s making history on the big screen with Makemation—Africa’s first-ever feature film about AI. And it all starts right here in Lagos this Easter!
A Film That’s Already Making Global Waves
Before even hitting theaters, Makemation has captured international attention. It was screened at the Global AI Summit in Riyadh, presented privately at Kenya Innovation Week, and even showcased at the residence of the U.S. Consul General in Lagos—all before its official release.
Now, the wait is almost over. Makemation makes its grand debut in Nigerian cinemas on April 18, 2025, before rolling out across Africa, the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East in May.
What Makes Makemation So Unique?
Unlike anything Nollywood has done before, Makemation blends cutting-edge technology with gripping storytelling. It’s a high-energy, family-friendly drama featuring a mix of Nollywood’s biggest names, tech innovators, public figures, and viral social media personalities.
The story takes viewers on an emotional, thought-provoking, and often hilarious journey, showcasing how young Africans are using AI to solve real-world challenges. The film seamlessly weaves together themes like:
- The power of AI and digital innovation in Africa
- STEM education, financial literacy, and tech inclusion
- The evolving role of Gen Z and Gen Alpha in shaping the future
This isn’t just about AI as a concept—it’s about how Africans can lead the digital revolution rather than just being consumers of global tech trends.
A Movie with a Bigger Purpose
For Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji, the film’s creator and a global AI for Development expert, Makemation is more than entertainment—it’s a movement.
“We’re not just making a movie; we’re igniting conversations. AI isn’t a distant concept for tech hubs in Silicon Valley—it’s a tool that can transform lives in Nigeria and across Africa. This film is an open invitation to young Africans to take control of their digital future,” she says.
A Visual and Storytelling Masterpiece
Directed by Michael “AMA PSALMIST” Akinrogunde, an award-winning filmmaker, Makemation delivers a visually stunning experience. Shot across diverse locations—from cutting-edge tech hubs to remote riverine communities—it offers a rich mix of cinematography, an original score, and an engaging narrative that appeals to all ages.
Be Part of the Future of AI in Africa
When Makemation hits cinemas, it’s not just about watching a film—it’s about being part of a larger conversation. Whether you’re into tech, storytelling, or simply love a good movie, this is an experience you don’t want to miss.
