Taranza (company)

Taranza is a low-budget Tanzanian horror-based film production company founded in January 11, 1998 by filmmakers Hekima Idowu, Isaya Obama and Kovu Afolabi. The company was named after the Kirby: Triple Deluxe character of the same name.

History
In 1998, Idowu established his own company called Taranza, which was responsible for his first two movies. Taranza came out of a desire for Idowu to move into distribution.

The first films they distributed consisted of the double bill, Nyama Iliyohifadhiwa and Mizimu Mabaya, movies which Idowu had executive produced and helped financed.

On November 20, 2003, after the first two movies got negative reviews, Idowu produced a film called Muuaji Hutembea Kati Yetu after 1 year without activity. After making low-budget horror movies, the company went into liquidation.
