I always had a camera. It was my dad’s hobby before it was mine. During my youth I watched films, a lot of them.I studied HR, I liked the idea of spotting talent and finding the right place for them, but the question kept turning back on me. What was my own?
So, I dropped out and went to film school. In the last two years I made a documentary about how children in my hometown lived through the Second World War. That was the first time I understood that history is not in the archives. It is in the people who carry it.
I graduated with a film about Uganda’s refugee response. The settlements are far north and remote, I followed people living inside the system. I stayed.
That brought me to the years with Marula Creative Agency, where I helped set up the media department. Where I worked on stories of positive change in society, agriculture and healthcare.
Now I live in Uganda. A life with my wife, and together we run Sunset Hill Productions, focused on media productions in East Africa.
