UK-based creative production house KAC Studios has premiered three short films in Accra, positioning its work as part of a broader effort to reshape how faith-inspired stories are told within the global and African film space.
The invite-only screening, held at Silverbird Cinemas, Accra Mall on February 7, 2026, featured The Cleaner, Mirage and The Right to Do Anything and brought together creatives, investors and industry stakeholders for dialogue around storytelling, film production and collaboration.
According to Daniel James Ofori-Atta, Studio Lead, Director and Cinematographer at KAC Studios, the intention is not to produce films targeted solely at Christian audiences but stories that reflect everyday human struggles in a way that resonates across belief systems.
“Most Christian-labelled films are very directed specifically at Christians, we want to create films that anyone can watch, whether you’re a believer or not and still take something meaningful from it.”
He noted that themes explored in their films include family relationships, mental health, abuse, loneliness, love, work and personal struggle, issues he says are universal rather than religiously exclusive.
This approach, he argues, is particularly relevant in Africa, where Christian-themed films often struggle to connect beyond church audiences.
Lead Producer Abiola Kareem explained that The Cleaner centres on themes of reconciliation, family and personal renewal, particularly within the relationship between a mother and daughter.
The other two films explore different genres, The Right to Do Anything as a love story with an unexpected turn and Mirage, a psychological thriller addressing isolation and mental health from a faith-informed perspective.
Kareem noted that many of KAC Studios’ projects were made possible through volunteer support from within their creative and church community.
She suggested that stronger collaboration among creatives could help improve the quality and reach of faith-inspired productions across Ghana and the wider African film industry.
“People with similar goals coming together and supporting each other has been key for us,” she said.
“If that same structure develops here, with quality still prioritised, the impact can be significant.”
One of the films screened, The Cleaner, has gained notable international attention. The short film, which is currently available on YouTube, has amassed close to one million views, won multiple awards and been selected for several international film festivals.
It was also featured during a panel discussion at Harvard School of Divinity, highlighting what the studio describes as growing global interest in its work.
Following previous premieres in London and Düsseldorf, the Accra event marked KAC Studios’ third international showcase.
