TRIBAL PICTURES INTERNATIONAL
EnterTribal Pictures International is a Kenyan production company developing films, original intellectual property and visual experiences for African and international audiences.
A young studio with a growing slate — original features, animated worlds, and commissioned work built to festival and broadcast standard.
Beyond commissioned production, Tribal develops its own intellectual property — original African stories built as films, animated universes and entertainment formats designed to travel.

A new original world currently in early development. Details to follow.
Founded in 2021 by two filmmakers who wanted to build stories on Kenyan terms, for the world.
Tribal combines African creative voices with international production standards — treating every commission, and every original idea, with the same craft.
"In modern-day Nairobi, a young African samurai confronts his brother's criminal empire to restore his master's honor — and discovers that true honor may mean ending the bloodline of vengeance itself."
Raised in the discipline of a forgotten dojo hidden in the hills outside Nairobi, a young warrior returns to a city transformed by his own brother's rise to power. Grey Eyes follows his path from student to reluctant weapon, as loyalty, family and honor collide against the backdrop of a modern African metropolis rendered with the visual language of classic samurai cinema.
Grey Eyes fuses the silhouettes and steel of samurai film tradition with Nairobi's skyline, matatu culture and street textures — built through a hybrid live-action and animated pipeline developed in-house at Tribal.
