About us
VISION
To be the world’s leading sales and distribution company and enable African content to have the largest global audience and distribution.
MISSION
To assist African content creators to develop, produce and deliver at the best possible standards for the local and global market demand, in order for us to deliver the best quality content and projects to our global network of buyers and investors.

AAA Entertainment is one of the few Netflix content partners in Africa and also works with several global aggregators and distributors for the biggest digital content platforms like Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Hulu, Sony, X Box and Vudu to name a few.
Based on the belief that this continent is brimming with great stories and talent, that present the African film and television industry with a new opportunity in high production value, AAA looks to reach a global audience with indigenous stories by ensuring the best quality in every step of the value chain.
