Twaano is Tabproduction Studios’ first official animated short film, a 3‑part anthology exploring the evolution of mental health in Zambia across three distinct timelines. Each chapter uses powerful visuals and an original soundtrack to highlight shifting perceptions of mental wellness, from traditional community approaches to modern challenges faced by youth. The film premiered at NuMetro Manda Hill to a sold‑out audience, accompanied by live performances that deepened the experience. Beyond its local success, Twaano has been recognized as a pioneering work in Zambian animation, sparking conversations about how creative media can destigmatize mental health and inspire more open dialogue across Africa’s cultural landscape
