This is a story, we're very proud to tell! So please read to the end: - Kwesi 'Supa Hype' Lee didn’t start out in the spotlight...nooooo he started out silent. You could barely get a word out of him at meetings...nada! (We love you Supa, but you know it's true!)

Supa as he was fondly called, was an extremely quiet, reserved teenager when he joined the E-Zone Entertainment team - but he was observant and always eager to learn ... and he had a great sense of humour, always up for a spot of fun...but that's a story for a next time. (Hee Hah! 😅).

Bright-eyed and gangly, Supa landed in a high-energy creative environment and in a solid mentorship that allowed him the freedom to experiment - one that created space for him to grow in character, technical skill and confidence.

Today, Kwesi 'Supa Hype' Lee is the dynamic host of a national 'drive time' talk show, a prolific content creator, dynamic live event host, and motivational speaker who connects with young people across the country on behalf of top corporate brands a responsible dad...AND he is still a youth!

His journey is one of many that began with mentorship, care, and the right exposure alongside Lisa Wickham ... the same principles at the heart of the Teen Creators Academy.

Created by international media expert and visionary, Lisa Wickham and and developed by her team, including teenagers, the Teen Creators Academy is interactive, hands-on and designed for teens who are ready to explore.

✅Learn from industry professionals & influencers
✅ Explore AI in film, digital media + animation
✅ Write, shoot & edit your own short film
✅ Studio tours & fun activities
✅ Plan your very own red carpet premiere

📺 And yes… your short film will air on TTT, TV6 & online

Creative freedom, new friends, and a chance to shine.

It’s not just a camp, it’s an Academy! Confidence-boosting ✨ Future-shaping ✨ A SuperCamp! ...SUPACamp! ✨
