We own
our stories.
NOORVALE is an African entertainment studio. We build original worlds — in animation, film, music and interactive — and we take commissions from brands and development organisations. The first world is Zaydora.
Why this studio
Africa has forty million people in its diaspora and the continent’s fastest-growing market for video. It does not have a studio brand of its own.
African stories reach global audiences mostly when someone else adapts them. We would rather make them here, own them here, and license outward from a position of holding the rights. That is a slower way to build a studio and a much better way to build a company.
Capabilities
Original stories
We develop and own our own IP. Zaydora is the first: a world drawn from African myth, built to travel. Owned stories cannot be withdrawn by a rights holder, outbid, or licensed away.
Sound and score
Voice direction, sound design and original score, produced in-house. Local-language performance is a craft, not a translation step.
The first world
ZAYDORA
A world drawn from African myth — light, and the valley that keeps it. Zaydora begins as short animation, free wherever the audience already is, and grows from there. Not a pitch deck. A production.
