Acheampong Studios Ltd. is an independent, talent-driven studio of motion pictures and arts based in Kumasi, Ghana founded by Dennis Nana Acheampong. The company currently operates a trio of branded entities: Management, Creative Team, and Production Crew, which are groups of like-minded people passionate about cinema.
In the world of film, Acheampong Magazine was established as part of Acheampong Studios to collaborate with Africa’s best creatives in empowering black filmmakers and engaging film lovers in both digital and print. Acheampong Magazine, in 2018, began to honor and celebrate filmmakers and projects with significant African content through its "AREEL," an annual international cinema award.

The AREEL, presented by Acheampong Magazine, is an international annual cinema award aims to honor and celebrate filmmakers and projects with significant African content for their outstanding achievements in the film industry.
The inaugural AREEL took place in September 2019, receiving an impressive 57 entries during the open call. This overwhelming response validated the event's goals, which included hosting screenings and discussions of the selected entries under the banner of "AREEL Shorts & Animation." This pre-event activity aimed to entertain the audience, foster networking, and raise funds to support young talents in launching their filmmaking careers.

To further support the development of young actors' craft and brand, AREEL has established the “Actors Studio” as part of our Creative Spaces, providing selected actors with professional headshots, portraits, and monologues and allowing them to learn, exposing them to the industry world that opens doors to casting opportunities and career growth.
Our creative spaces, “the actor’s studios” have been used to help launch careers and help many young actors secure roles and represent their brand.

Throughout its editions, AREEL have featured outstanding performances by talented casts, including actors such as Michael Ward, Jasmine Jobson, Prince Agortey, Benjamin Sarpong, Anna Roser, Bless Fortune, and Fiifi Neizer. The event has also showcased visionary directors such as Anthony Nti, Tomisin Adepeju, Amartei Arma, Joseph Akwasi, Carl Earl-Ocran, Johannes Krug, Jumic Emmanuel Anderson, Peter Sedufia, and Pascal Aka.

The AREEL seek collaborative support, partnerships and sponsorships to expand our support and celebration of outstanding filmmakers and projects with significant African content. We intend to recruit industry-wide support for this mission.
