Event information
Studio Djembe is an emerging South African animation studio that has quickly gained recognition for its work in animation, concept development and content creation for social media.
The studio is making waves with its original project, Roho: The Age of Masks, which is currently in development. This story follows Leo, a teenager who inherits a mystical Cheetah mask and discovers his connection to the spirit within. As Leo trains alongside new friends, he faces various challenges, battles otherworldly creatures, and uncovers the truth about his destiny. In early 2024, Studio Djembe expanded the Roho universe by releasing a free comic book, which fans can find through the project’s Instagram.
Apart from Roho, Studio Djembe is actively involved in other exciting projects, contributing to a range of animated works such as Black Caesar’s Revenge, Zizi and Hannibal, and Iinkwenkwezi. They have also collaborated with global organisations like Chevron and UNICEF, handling diverse content that reaches a wide audience.
Studio Djembe maintains a strong presence across social media platforms, including Instagram and YouTube, where they promote their brand and showcase their extensive portfolio. These platforms also highlight their collaborative efforts and the ongoing journey of the Roho project. Committed to more than just content creation, Studio Djembe aims to cultivate a vibrant creative community within the African animation industry.
