Frank's journey into the world of animation commenced when he took it upon himself to acquire the necessary skills at the age of 19, during his second year at Bompeh Senior High Technical School. Following his completion of secondary education in 2016, he secured employment as a foreman at Wangkang Ceramic Company Ltd, where he served diligently for three years.

In his first academic year (level 100), he astutely crafted "Covid-19: The Fear of Death" and "Covid-19: Avoid Stigmatization," both animated works intended to raise awareness about the pressing issues surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.
Progressing into his second academic year (level 200), Frank contributed his creative prowess to produce "Sad Story of Kojo." In the following year, 2022, he presented "If You Do Good, You Do for Yourself," a short animation meticulously designed to inspire, encourage, motivate, inform, and educate individuals about the importance of performing altruistic acts towards others.
Currently in his third academic year (level 300), Frank's latest masterpiece, "Kindness Right Back At You," poignantly conveys the significance of demonstrating kindness to strangers through the medium of a short film. Frank Dzikunu's artistic achievements have garnered him numerous accolades both locally and internationally, including recognition at the AMAA Startimes Short Film Festival, where he secured the prestigious position of first runner-up in 2022.
