Life + creativity

Life should be remembered, shared & experienced to the utmost. Uzima Studios exists just for that. Being influenced by the Swahili word meaning life, uzima (uu-zee-mah) is where we express the deepest, joyous & most authentic parts of life.


IMAGINATION + BUSINESS

Founded on reflecting the heart of storytelling & fueled by creatives internationally. We are committed to bringing your story to any screen. Rather you are a film on the big stage, a promo on internet platforms, or a music video on phones.
