We Don’t Just Train Actors — We Put Them On Screen

Most acting schools stop at training.
We train you — then put you on screen in real Nollywood productions.

From training to real roles on screen

Why 9jaStudio Is Different

Most acting schools stop at training.
You learn… practice… and then you’re on your own.

At 9jaStudio, we go further.

We train you.
We develop you.
We cast you.

That’s how our trained actors go from beginners…
to appearing on screen in our UniLife series on Silverbird TV.

From Training to Television

85% of the actors in UniLife started with us.

Some had never acted before.

Today, they are featured on national television.

This is not theory. This is real industry experience.

What Our Actors Say

The Founder

Frank Adekunle Macaulay

Producer • Showrunner • Founder of 9jaStudio

I’m Frank Adekunle Macaulay — a former Nigerian Airways airline pilot who later trained as an actor at the Anna Scher Theatre in London, where Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya trained.

I brought that training back to Nigeria and founded 9jaStudio in Lagos.

Today, our Screen Acting Boot Camp graduates fill 85% of roles in our productions — including our TV series UniLife on Silverbird.

9jaStudio gives actors what most training programs don’t — real opportunities.

We don’t just train actors.
We cast them in real productions.

That’s the 9jaStudio difference.
