 What's up, good people? We are right here at the Panari Hotel at the launch of the premiere of The Born to Shine, a movie by Maya Productions in conjunction with the Greenview Skulls Kamu, wawone. It's Maya Productions. Ya, it's my production band. Ya mbo bipi. Mini kofiti? Nani? Mini kofiti piya? Nia mbeni. Ya mbeni kwa maikapum transki hafizuri nia, nia nga tuwa tuwa TV na. No ni mimi. It's my day. Nia mbeni ni sasa. Miza tumbeji na lako. Mini tuwa exo the director. Exo the director. Oh, exo the director. E exo the director. Oh, okay. We say exo the director knows like that. Ya. Maybe you can tell us a little about the Born to Shine, a movie. Born to Shine, hei. So Born to Shine, ilikwani aidiya, onjiwa actually Maya tumbe kuatukifanya nga movies for quite some time. And we are looking for something that is a build up, is a tini piya game, kwa industry. We didn't see it coming, but idea ilipopout to ya, what if I do the first musical in Kenya. Nika ibrain storm, I met my team, nika ibrain storm. Tukasim watata after shule because we wanted to kuangaliya shule, to kuantata after high school. But we are like, high school watu wengo mefanya. Mbisa Rafina ilikwa musical kidogo, na hini kwa high school. We were thinking of what's up when the lower kidogo. So to kind of grade 6, 7. So it was primary, it was really amazing. So to kind of shule green view, and green view when it will share the idea, they bought the idea. They were like, let's do it. And it was amazing. First time working with kids and how has been the experience working with them? Actually it was the first time we worked with kids. And actually kwa kwa kids ni interesting na inataka a lot of patients. A lot of patients in Manisha, watoto sikama wa tokubo. Wana shikavitu wa raka, but lasimo wende na pesiao. Always wakim visa. So in time to kodunashut, wakisao lines marami kita tukufanya, rudia, rudia na liza pulia. So we have to hold up to it, umtu endakafanya PR. But it was interesting, it was really interesting. Looking at the banner behind, of course, tuneza kuna the cast watoto in school uniform. Naja kuna wa torii watanzakusema. We have been like the comeback of Tahidi High. Actually it's Tahidi High. Actually this is not like, this is the first of its kind. It's a musical. Actually how to iwana imba. Like no one's business. Ah they have good voices. So it's amazing because it's one of its kind. It's the first musical. They are musical in the family of Kenya. And it's a musical movie. Yes. So we have talked with, I think, the principal of Greenville Schools Kamulu. Ya Greenville Schools Kamulu. Na alkuna sama PR. The first time, of course, they approached the students about the project. They were okay. But now, of course, they had to involve the parents. And kidogo, kidogo, maria kwa maria. And aparta ile rejection from the parents. Because we also have parents who want their kids to fully focus on their education. Kwenu ilu kwa wipi? Apolo challenge li kuwapo. Ya ku convince the parents, wa allow their kids to feature in a movie. But electorally say di asana na Greenville. Greenville wali ongelesha, all the parents, wakambia apart from education. Kuna hi talent. Na hi talent ndi wato naku liya skuizi. So kini mamto to your talent size. I think umedu me distrae fuchake. Because apart from education, I think talent to kila kitu sa isi. So we talked with the parents. And the parents were like, Ya, we can do this. And they signed the consent forms. We were like, Ya, we can do it. And today is the premiere. At the moment, manzee, it's been crazy because since truly release trailer, manzee wakapata offers, a lot of offers to make, wakapata view sasa, rush lake, to go in communication and netleagues. Ya, ya, ya. I mean it's, it's, it's, it's, it's kuna mtwe to Disney. Wa manzee kuri chout. I mean, people wa manzee kuri chout. Ya, ya, ya. I mean it's really amazing. KBC wali qikwa wakafanya, a review of it, it's really nice. Ya, ya, na tu kenda wai 254, ya, ya ya ya, and koshulu everywhere. Y Buddhist. And of course of this, is taking us back to a childhood kidango, we had, nii, ... for example, Matcha Chary, Yama wa Twingwell kua paiTe, kiyasa nalabdha. So for you, as a Maya production, would you consider maybe having it on TV, A ma kidongo, you're like, na na se ma kumepata yvar offer, but tuna drakatu kubreyngstone kidongo, We have this strategy to go to the next stage, but we have to make it exclusive to brand new, I am an avatuhan to do what we can do, because we about to start a tour. I told her, we had a tour to all the schools in Kenya, so we are thinking of bone to shine too, we make it a franchise. I am considering your working with children, did this project take longer to complete, or was it a shorter period? We were shot around two months. Two months? Is that long shot? Short? Because we were working at time lines for three months. It was really short. So we were shooting hours a bit crazy because we were working times at school. So we were shooting maybe two hours ago. We shoot in a kwa kama lesson. So we managed to collect that long. So the whole story about the acting industry in Kenya, what do you think is the future for example of these kids and a bond to shy? Oh, actually the future of these kids is great. Actually when we released the trailer, some TV stations that I mentioned, Waliansakuri Chout. So one attack, one attack, one attack, one attack, one attack. One attack, one attack, one attack, one attack. Hey, can you send a model log? We want to feature her. So I think the future is great. So we will discuss about that in the next episode. What next after the premier here? Can we talk about it again? And maybe also talk to the parents. Of course we will talk about it in the next episode. First things first. Kamawin Mzazi. And I'm Toto. Please, not your talents. Actually the talents are only for you. Me personally, I got my first like one million na talent nili peo one of minna zoska pesa kitambo minu dem sewa nivi lehaza, we don't show it but I've been with Maya Productions I'm the CEO of Maya Productions so prulenda kushikaido kitambo na seizi ambiyam tu ati talenta iwi pi so come on you parents na you care about your kid actually everything in a go digital everything in a go digital lasimu na cha talentam tu toa ko do sekiyo fichiaa ke 5 years to come habunam tu taku kisumbu na watu taku wangatu apa online so come to here you go online I think so and to all then watuwa industry please support Kenyan content apa kenya kuna watuna wana jituma wana fanya a great production nili saaputin do apa tangi so I'm so proud of all the sponsors mii atatukua jwati sponsors when they come through we love bonshain I want to be actually last week to have sponsors waki wakia kusponsat event wana fightia I want to support how much can I pay I want to support it as in I was like hmm this can happen actually to me was a ticket so totally sold out we haven't spent even a cent of that money mii atata all the sponsors will care everything atata jalipata adami zdiwata nipisangapit me shika but I know we got money maybe on behalf of maybe our viewers after premiere ama atukisha upload izi video atapu anatura jelab dahi movie nezaipata actually we are ata kiku release the movie right now because there is a premiere at Mombasa coming we want to go all the reasons we want to go to Kisumu because right now I think my sponsors want to go for now wakitaka ni cinemas 2 cinemas we are ready to quickly release atata wa ita kakani adesal miyana come this is my managing director mambo hi this is my managing director Maya and make sure everything is running I am that guy my name is Taira Sonyango this is my business partner manze tumefrayasana kufanyai movie Bontu China is becoming bigger than us which is awesome sini wa dogo lakini wenda maju bana wana chwa maju wana nana maju ndega ni ni tuna panda so manze is a pleasure tiki angali ya unafu raha exo previa me tumbia nzito usha sema minnes ma ni kuna doza angu ma tiketi zisha ko solda the tickets are actually sold out if anything we still have more people who want to come in we already have a crowd inside and there is already like another half a crowd that is on their way actually atadukitok kufanya because now they want to come and buy at the gates and we don't know what to do about that and maybe unadjust sometimes the acting industry the movie industry may be in our country dogo inamata tizu watu ame omeongi amengi I don't know what you can say about it ni nana sema haina hella kama ina do niko sababu ajuku ajuktafta do there is money out here filmina lipa entertainmentina lipa nona there are ways to crack these guys are genius somehow is cracked distribution billa ku go through normal distribution channels which is awesome so we are here to start something new nona like sour atua bimbeleza we are coming to take over come out ways to take over basimaju and of course kunaile debate that the film industry is not the safest place for children and their growth what do you have to say about that is a very good question this movie born to shine shows what you do to a child and how that can affect them mentally nona so if you don't spread a positive message via film whereas nona this is powerful we are using media nona this is music combined with film at the same time if these mediums are not used if you can't do a movie like this there are people out there wana fanya vitumbayambaya moving byambaya very badly rated movies now atua wana access so that's why people like us have to come in a space like this and do a movie that actually can get the next generation to change their mindset and actually be better I am asking that because we see some of the child stars in Hollywood to become drug addicts and all that how are you safeguarding these kids from growing into that first of all this is not Hollywood yeah so there is a way we are doing it first of all we have to ensure that all the legalities are done so kuna consent your parents and everything so we are not doing a view to bill approval nona we are very serious about that the children's wellbeing is so important that if we play around with that first of all we will be of course we will be breaking the law nona so we will ensure that when it comes to legalities when we come to the left right and center and we want to make sure we can help to go through this journey nona but of course it is in their parents they can best willing we can be both but the busy force anytime anytime now now I am going to email a twitter Sehamba bro Akito, director I.
