02Mission
Lisabi is not just entertainment. It is a preservation of history, culture, and identity.
The Mandate
Three commitments hold the studio together — the reason every film gets made.
I
Preservation
We rescue the histories, languages and heroes that risk being forgotten — and commit them to the permanence of the screen.
II
Production
We mount epics at a global standard — uncompromising in craft, scale and ambition, made to stand beside the world's best.
III
Cultivation
We train the next generation of Nigerian talent — actors, directors and storytellers who will carry the work beyond us.

06About the Studio
Who we are
AL Notions Studios was founded in 2021 by Lateef Adedimeji and Adebimpe Oyebade — two of Nigeria's most respected screen artists, who set out to build something larger than any single performance.
In three years the studio has delivered two Netflix Original epics, launched an academy for emerging talent, and become a partner to the institutions shaping the future of African cinema. The work is unified by a single conviction: that Nigeria's stories deserve to be told at the highest standard the screen allows.
