NorthSouth Media is a cross-continental production company building the infrastructure that connects African storytelling to global audiences. We produce award-winning content in Nairobi at a fraction of Western costs, facilitate international productions in Kenya, and license original IP across 100+ territories.
Our model is built on structural cost arbitrage: a 10-episode premium series that costs $5M+ in Los Angeles can be produced at Kalasha Award-winning quality in Nairobi for $250K. Same talent depth. Same production standards. Radically better economics.

But cost arbitrage alone isn't a company. What makes NorthSouth investable is the flywheel. Every Western production we facilitate in Kenya strengthens our crew network, deepens our vendor relationships, refines our permitting playbook, and generates immediate cash. That infrastructure then makes our own original IP cheaper and safer to produce. The service revenue keeps us alive. The owned IP is what makes us valuable. One funds the other, and both compound over time.
We don't depend on investor capital to survive. Client revenue covers operations. Investor capital goes exclusively toward building the asset: a growing library of premium African content licensed globally. This is a fully de-risked model where the engine pays for itself and every dollar of outside capital converts directly into owned intellectual property.

Founded by Jason Corder, creator of Kenya's first comedy-drama series ("Stay," now streaming on Roku and ShowMax), 2x TEDx speaker, and former U.S. State Department Cultural Envoy across 60+ countries. With 15+ years in Nairobi and a production track record exceeding $1.2M in capital raised and deployed with zero failures, NorthSouth brings a relationship network and operational infrastructure that would cost a competitor $5M and seven years to replicate.

We produce in Nairobi. We license globally.
