The effectiveness of using educational cinema techniques to increase students’ self-confidence: An experimental research by Prio Utomo

Empyrean Media is UK/Ghanaian film collective dedicated to producing films with essence with the aim of imparting knowledge and depth to enrich and educate its audience.

The company was formed in 2024, and has received nominations worldwide alongside awards for their captivating visuals whilst simultaneously embedding messaging throughout the process.

As much as the desire is to impart knowledge, we are blissfully aware of the need to meet people where they’re at. Enjoyment tends to increase engagement and we believe by embedding carefully crafted messaging via film and entertainment, the films showcased can subtly educate whilst given the illusion of entertainment.

In certain mental states, the only thing an impoverished mine seeks is enjoyment and joy. Whether that be through food, visuals or audio, the aim is to feel better as a result of these experiences.

Through regular engagement with these films, given the lack of entertainment and infrastructure in the area, we’re confident it’ll be a popular gathering point amongst the community.
