What does it take to
become a filmmaker at Kibera Film School?
Below some trainees sum up their experiences!
Shirley Akinyi
It was a very tense day I wasn’t sure of what I was going to
do but deep down my heart I knew it was the beginning of a new experience in my
life.
Michael Mwangi
Meeting new friends in a very strange environment, people
with diverse attitudes…that was a challenge.
Wambui Kaggai
My biggest challenge was how to connect the ‘Mac minis’ I
feared I may connect them wrongly and be compelled to pay. ‘these equipment’s
are expensive’
Michael Kuria
I have come to realize that being a filmmaker is all about
organizing your self. This has always been a challenge.
Wawira Njeru
My biggest challenge has always been putting my film ideas
on paper, thanks to Kibera Film School now I know what to write and how to
structure it.
Mariah Abongo
Being a filmmaker is wow hectic! You have to be super
organized and that you must always have a small writing pad to put all your
thoughts. As a young mother this is a huge task but am up for the challenge.
Saumu Mohammed
Before joining Kibera Film School I was what you call ‘a
green horn’ now I am confident enough to say what film is. My biggest challenge
was when our production tutor asked us to name, names of famous film directors….
sadly I knew none!
Matthew Louis
Editing’ this was a challenge and half…. how to make those
tiny beautiful cuts, woven creatively together to make an award winning film.
Douglas Mwangi
How do you tell a 2-minute story of ‘My World’! Seriously!
This I had a huge argument. However everything is possible at Kibera Film
School. This school is unique, hands-on.
