The first world-class film production city in the heart of DR Congo. 100 million people, zero professional studios. Let's change history.
We are building the infrastructure that Africa's largest French-speaking nation deserves. SAKANA is a bridge between local talent and global distribution.
Our mission is to provide soundstages, post-production tech, and training to turn Congo into a global cinematic hub.
Africa is not an emerging market; it is an underbuilt one.
It is home to the world’s youngest population and an explosion of demand for local stories. Yet most African creators still operate without access to professional infrastructure.
This is not a bet on trends. It is a bet on fundamentals.
Inside SAKANA Production City: a fully integrated creative ecosystem designed to support creators from idea to distribution, while sustaining itself economically.
World-class soundstages, music studios, and post-production suites providing the tools to develop content at international standards.
Theme parks, leisure spaces, and cultural experiences that generate continuous revenue and turn the city into a global destination.
Hotels and residential spaces for production teams and tourists, enabling full creative immersion without logistical barriers.
Office spaces for startups, agencies, and distributors, transforming creative output into long-term economic value.
Reliable energy, water systems, and high-speed connectivity ensure autonomy and uninterrupted professional operations.
DR Congo is a demographic giant and a strategic entry point for building Africa’s missing creative infrastructure at scale.
Phase 0: Day One. Before major capital can be unlocked, the project must physically exist.
SAKANA is a long term industrial vision designed to attract private investors and international partners. But before major capital can be unlocked, the project must physically exist. This campaign funds Phase 0, breaking ground, the moment SAKANA becomes real.
🎯 We are raising $500,000 to secure the foundation of SAKANA Production City.
A clear execution path: build proof on the ground first, then unlock partners and investment.

A system designed for production, training, business activity, and creative tourism.
Breaking ground and completing permits makes the project bankable and partner-ready.
Secure site, permits, perimeter, and operations camp. Establish execution proof.
