Where African Stories Take Shape
DUN Creative Hub is more than a facility: it is a commitment to the next generation of African storytellers. A physical space for training, production, and community, built to nurture talent that will define Nollywood's next chapter.
“We are not just building a facility. We are building the future.”
David Nnaji, Founder
01The problem
The Gap in Our Industry
Nollywood produces over 2,000 films annually, yet our storytellers often lack access to the infrastructure their counterparts in Hollywood or Bollywood take for granted. Aspiring directors shoot on smartphones because they cannot afford camera rentals. Writers with brilliant scripts have no place to workshop them. Actors train in makeshift spaces without proper guidance.
The result? Potential is wasted. Stories go untold. And African cinema remains constrained not by talent, which we have in abundance, but by opportunity.
DUN Creative Hub exists to bridge this gap: to provide the space, tools, and mentorship that turn raw talent into world-class craft.

02What we do
The Solution
DUN Creative Hub is a comprehensive ecosystem designed to support storytellers at every stage of their journey: from first-time writers to seasoned directors looking for their next breakthrough.
Create
Professional facilities and equipment at accessible rates. Everything needed to bring stories to life.
Connect
A community of collaborators. Industry partnerships that open doors and create opportunities.
04Who teaches
The people who will teach here
Faculty is the product of a training academy, so we would rather name nobody than name placeholders. These are the chairs being filled, and the people in them will be announced with their credits attached.
Teach with us, or know someone who should? Tell us.
05What you can join
Our Programs
Four pillars designed to support creatives at every stage of their journey, from learning the craft to producing professional work.
06The plan
How we get there
Dates we intend to be held to, rather than a launch year and a hope.
07What it costs
Fees & funding
Access is the problem we exist to solve, so we would rather be direct about price than make you ask.
30%
of every cohort, fully funded
No one who earns a place should lose it to cost. A fixed share of every Training Academy intake is funded end to end: tuition, equipment access and materials. Selection is on work and need, assessed separately from the main application.
Register your interestFees are being finalised
We are setting tuition against the real cost of running the facility rather than against what the market will bear, and we would rather publish a number once than revise it three times.
Full fee structure for every program is published alongside the opening of applications. Join the waitlist and you will have it before anyone else.
