Filmhouse cinema

Kene Okwuosa and his partner co-founded Filmhouse Cinema in 2012, after accessing the Intervention Funds created by President Goodluck Jonathan to boost Nigeria's creative industry. With an initial loan of N200 million, they opened their first three-screen cinema in Surulere, Lagos. Following a slow start, the cinema grew to become one of the biggest locations in the country, leading to further expansion. Today, Filmhouse represents about 50% of tickets sold in Nigerian cinemas and aims to become a leading media entertainment company.
In 2018, Okwuosa became the managing director of Filmhouse Cinemas following the exit of Kene Mkparu.
