Work In Progress: It's A Wrap!

We've just wrapped shooting our feature film! We've been filming for three weeks on different sets and locations around Nairobi, ensuring that we adhered to local and international safety guidelines on workplace COVID-19 prevention that included: temperature and health checks at the beginning of every day; frequent, regular hand washing; and sanitising and face masks on at all times. This was made possible with the help of Anita Inziani, the wonderful freelance set nurse, who has expertise in helping cast and crew be COVID-aware and COVID-safe.

Work in Progress: A New Feature Film in Production

We are thrilled to announce that we have started production for a feature film that we’ve been working on for a while now! We were gearing to start in late March, but everything was put on hold when the first lockdown (which was also global) was announced midway through the month. We are so happy to be on set again, and are also ensuring we stick to local and international safety guidelines on workplace COVID-19 prevention for the film sector.
