Frank Dzikunu, widely known as Angel FD, is the founder and creative force behind Angel FD Animation, a brand dedicated to storytelling through impactful and purpose-driven animation. He is a graduate of the University of Cape Coast, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Actuarial Science.
Frank’s journey into animation began at the age of 19 while he was a student at Bompeh Senior High Technical School, driven by a deep passion and self-motivation to acquire animation skills independently. After completing secondary education in 2016, he worked as a foreman at Wangkang Ceramic Company Ltd for three years, gaining valuable professional experience while continuing to develop his creative talents.
During this period, Frank produced his first notable animation, “The Dance, Most Original,” a short animated piece choreographed to “Most Original” by Stonebwoy. In 2019, he gained admission to the University of Cape Coast, where he consistently merged academics with creativity.
In his first year at the university, Frank created “Covid-19: The Fear of Death” and “Covid-19: Avoid Stigmatization,” two educational animations aimed at raising awareness during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. As he progressed academically, he produced “Sad Story of Kojo” in his second year, followed by “If You Do Good, You Do for Yourself” in 2022—a motivational short film designed to inspire kindness, selflessness, and social responsibility.
In his final year, Frank released “Kindness Right Back At You,” a compelling short film that highlights the power of kindness to strangers and its ripple effect in society.
Frank Dzikunu’s works have received both local and international recognition, including being named First Runner-Up at the AMAA Startimes Short Film Festival in 2022. Beyond entertainment, Frank is passionate about embedding faith-based messages into his animations, often using text and recorded visuals to share the Word of God and promote moral values.

Filmmakers need to understand the process of filmmaking. We approached StarTimes for partnership and StarTimes is willing to help us nurture these resourceful people. “Over 500 entries were submitted while about 220 short films were selected for the screening. This shows the number of young people making marks across Africa. “We have to clear the stage for young and upcoming filmmakers. If we catch them young and structure them properly, it will help the growth of having better films being made along the way.” “The shortlisted films are still airing on ST Nollywood Plus on StarTimes and StarTimes-ON mobile app. If you have the opportunity, please watch them, so you will know what the young people are doing. There are a lot of topics that resonate with our daily lives. There are also little animations embedded too. So, I was quite impressed with what I saw,” Ms. Peace added.
