Work and play at Kibera Film School

When you come to Kibera Film School it's not all work and no play. We have fun when inspiring people like Tazim Elkington or seasoned media personalities like Mr. Richard Crompton drop by. Former Kibera Film School trainees working in the industry also encourage us when things get tough. No two weeks are ever the same at Kibera Film School. Tazim Elkington the 'paradigm shifter' Richard Crompton at Kibera Film School Volunteers,well wishers and donors always surprise us with equipment and offer free advice on film making.Some do not want to be recognized for their efforts as they do it out of love and not for recognition. We cannot thank everyone personally but your contributions in our lives will not go to waste. Asante Sana (Thank you very much)

Film trainees bite the dust

It was a few minutes before lunch as the Kibera Film School trainees received a message from our filmmaking trainer about a news story unfolding in Kibera. We had never been in the field since we joined Kibera Film School.This was our chance to impress our trainer. We packed our equipments and hurried out of the school, up and down the dirt tracks for an hour before we reached the 'News' hot spot.The trainer's phone rang..... It turned out we had been set up by our school coordinator and trainer.There was no breaking news!

As part of our evaluation, we had to find a story about the ongoing construction of the southern bypass which cuts through Kibera slums connecting other parts of Nairobi. It was a tough day with temperatures above 28 C, no lunch and no resting. After 5 hours we made a story from nothing. Kibera Film School makes you think outside the box and out of your comfort zone.We learn the hard but fun way.
