bio

I am passionate about films from/ about the African continent going beyond the festival circuit to the audiences they were intended for. I am a kingpin in the sales, marketing, distribution and exhibition of African cinema. I am the founder and curator of African Movie Night Kampala, a film exhibition initiative that holds scheduled screening at the National Theatre in Kampala, Uganda. My dream is to run an independent cinema hall much like The Bioscope in Johannesburg or The Theatre in Cape Town coupled with an FTA/ SVOD premium African cinema content channel.
