Action Nollywood Pictures

Action Nollywood Pictures (ANP) is a Nigerian film studio that was founded in 1989 by filmmaker Musa Amaechi. It is one of the few exploitative action, crime, horror and sci-fi film studios to have a somewhat higher standard of production, but still done on a constrained budget. It is known for its leadership in developing special effects, sound, and computer animation for films.

The first film produced by the studio was the coming-of-age drama Asopo, in Yoruba language. Unlike some Nigerian films that was shot on video, the film was shot in Super 8 and was given a theatrical release on January 29, 1991 and then a video release on February 1, 1992.

As of 2011, ANP is notoriously known for its action works based on video games and some video game sprite animations uploaded on YouTube.

ANP's 24-minute short film made in 2014, Kirby vs. Everybody: The Nollywood Short Movie, attracted international attention and was given international releases. It has also spawned a dozens of memes and reviews.
