Our Process

At Àkàndá, our friendly yet professional approach ensures every project meets the highest quality standards. We embrace innovation, imagination, and beauty to tackle projects of any scale and complexity. Our dedication to cultural uplifting and emotive storytelling brings insightful perspectives to every stage of the creative process.

We focus on the global majority and working people’s experiences, celebrating the histories and cultures of the diverse communities of the UK, Africa and the global majority. Our collaborations have extended to a variety of communities from England, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Somalia, Peru, Korea, Kurdistan and Poland.

Our narrative focus includes non-mainstream stories that tackle complex, dramatic, philosophical, and political themes often avoided by commercial film. Using comedy, drama, surrealism, and visual poetry, our films challenge viewers’ perspectives and societal norms.

Upcoming Events

“With a very short timeline and very little context on the project, [Daniel Olabode (editor) & Poppy Ingham (producer) were] able to turn around some great social edits of our main trailer – delivered on time and to a very specific spec.”

“Daniel’s work is technically of the highest quality, but more importantly he brings his own imagination to the task. Daniel has a great understanding and feeling for music, an extraordinary empathy with the artists, and with the ethos of Grand Union's work.”

“Daniel is organised, creative and excellent at bringing a vision to life. And the kind of person you want to work with again!”

“Working with Dan is always such a pleasure. We have worked together on multiple types of projects and there's always a good understanding of each other’s workflow and creative freedom”.

"I am pleased to confirm that we are very happy with everything. [Àkàndá Production's] work has truly met our expectations, and it has been a pleasure working with [Àkàndá] on these projects. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with [Àkàndá] again in the future…Thank you once again for your excellent work."
