A storytelling IP studio, based in New York City
Building content properties that don't just entertain — they endure.
SmallScreenMultimedia develops culturally resonant IP across vodcast, documentary, digital series, and live events. One conviction sits underneath everything we make: the story that moves the needle is never about the product, the policy, or the platform. It's always about the human being.
What we develop
Vodcast & Documentary
Long-form, character-driven properties built for streaming platforms and cable, made to be watched in full.
Digital Series
Short-form content for Instagram and TikTok that breaks down complex subjects through human-centred narrative.
Live Events
Panels, tapings and stage conversations that carry the same human-first approach into a room.
Flagship — now streaming
The Grannies
An intergenerational storytelling platform where Grandmothers — some of the most overlooked storytellers in media — sit at the center of conversations about grief, sacrifice, identity, and what gets passed between generations.
Also from the studio — live storytelling
AJstories
Real people have extraordinary stories worth telling. AJstories is SmallScreenMultimedia's live interview platform, built around ~30-minute conversations with emerging innovators, entrepreneurs, creatives and changemakers — with a particular focus on African stories told by the people living them, rather than through outside interpretation. Accessible and conversational, with the editorial depth of professional journalism underneath it.

Founder
SmallScreenMultimedia was founded by journalist Adesewa Josh to put the same discipline she's brought to newsrooms and global stages — presidential palaces, the NASDAQ MarketSite, the G20 — into original television and streaming content. The studio exists to prove that the most overlooked storytellers are usually the ones worth building a whole show around.
