Onetime Productions Limited · Lagos, Nigeria
Films, music videos, commercials, documentaries and podcasts, produced to a world standard and legally sound from the first frame.
The studio
Onetime Productions Limited is a Lagos production company making feature and short films, music videos, commercials, documentaries and podcasts for Nigerian and international audiences.
We were founded by a lawyer and a creative strategist. That pairing means we understand the story, the brand and the contracts behind every production. Our clients get work that moves audiences and stands up to distributors, broadcasters and regulators.
The name is our philosophy. No frame can be shot twice, so we plan and shoot every one with intent.
A three-minute music video or a ninety-minute feature, we start with the story. Even a sixty-second ad works because it tells one well.
Proper pre-production, the right crew, quality equipment and a post process that delivers polished, broadcast-ready work.
Talent agreements, music clearances, location licences and NFVCB/ARCON compliance, documented on every job.
We learn your brand, audience and objectives before we develop a single concept, and we keep you informed to the final master.
Services · Six disciplines
One team from concept to delivery. Every service covers development, pre-production, the shoot, post-production and delivery in the formats your platforms need.
Feature films, short films and narrative content for cinema, streaming and festivals, from screenplay development through NFVCB classification and distribution strategy.
Cinematic videos for artists, labels and management across Afrobeats, R&B, Hip-Hop, Gospel, Afropop and beyond, ready for streaming and social.
TV commercials, online ads and brand films for Nigerian and international brands, built for ARCON clearance and NBC broadcast.

For producers, studios & streamers

Model C
We provide production services for a film owned and financed by a third-party producer or studio.

Development slate. We have original film and television projects in development and welcome conversations with producers, distributors, streamers and co-financiers under NDA.

NFVCB classification for films, ARCON approval for commercials, platform-ready masters for everything else.
Why Onetime
Most production companies hand over a file. We hand over a file you can safely broadcast, license and sell, backed by the paperwork to prove it.
Founded with in-house legal expertise, so every production is properly contracted and IP-protected, and your investment is protected with it.
Documented IP ownership on every job, which distribution, licensing, international sales and brand asset protection all depend on.
Your brief, scripts and brand information are protected under a formal NDA before any creative exchange.
One accountable partner from concept to delivery, with no patchwork of freelancers to manage.
We balance storytelling with brand objectives, so the work lands with audiences and pays back for the brand.
A young company with senior expertise and the energy to go further for every client.
