We've created a faith-based film academy committed to equipping creatives, empowering storytellers, and shining God's light through film.
Our community transforms lives through powerful visual storytelling, bringing together emerging filmmakers with industry professionals to create authentic, impactful content that glorifies God.
“We are not just called to be consumers of culture, but creators of it.”
Ohis Ojeikere, FounderFounded with a vision to transform the film industry through faith, Winlos Film Academy is renowned for our experiential learning model, high-impact training, deep industry partnerships, and kingdom-focused approach.
From day one, we've pursued innovative ways of teaching filmmaking that place a premium on hands-on experience and authentic engagement with the craft. Today, our signature approach empowers not only students, but facilitators, alumni, and partners to create transformative stories that pursue impact.
Winlos Film Academy was born from a simple but profound conviction: the church needs better storytellers. Ohis Ojeikere, a lead pastor, film director, and writer, recognized a gap between the quality of secular film content and faith-based productions.
Rather than critiquing from the sidelines, he decided to do something about it. He founded Winlos Film Academy to train a new generation of creatives who could compete at the highest levels of the industry while remaining anchored in biblical truth.
Today, Winlos is more than a film school. It's a movement a community of artists, directors, writers, cinematographers, and producers who believe that stories have the power to change hearts, shift culture, and glorify God.
We don't just teach technical skills. We cultivate character, vision, and excellence. We believe that the best films come from the best storytellers people who know their craft, understand their calling, and are committed to using their gifts for God's glory.
To raise a generation of skilled filmmakers who use storytelling and visual media to glorify God, transform lives, and advance the Kingdom through film.
To equip purpose-driven creatives with practical filmmaking skills, strong storytelling foundations, and spiritual values, empowering them to create films that communicate truth, inspire faith, and make lasting impact across cultures and generations.
