 We are talking about platforms where you can access mubiza kwa palu Na jokilam na penda kwa netflix and chill But sasa yelo see netflix and chill We have our own platform kamaeyu Musa, how are you doing? How are you? I'm fine, thank you I'm good, welcome to the studio So kindly introduce yourself My name is Monene Musels I'm also Mogu I'm a master's student Social statistics I did computer science with mathematics for my bachelors I'm sure you know what I'm doing I'm sorry I know what you're doing I don't know what you're doing But I don't think it's the Musa that I know Really? I'm sure you know what I'm doing I'm sure you know what I'm doing 100% honest 100% honest So that's the real me I'm a software developer I came up with something called Filamu It's a content platform Where you can access Movies and TV TV shows Including family content Najua Nash Loves a lot of katoons Oh he loves eggs, he loves katoons I think he loves katoons So you didn't know about What? I didn't I'm sorry Okay And basically I'm a simple guy So what made the decision to decide that people need a platform when there are other platforms available, Netflix Showmax Nice So mimi have been a movie lover for the longest I think this is due to my mum Kwanzaazili at times Nigerian movies on cassettes KMDVDs Then finally we had the internet Nimi kwankitumi internet for quite some time Since then there has been a lot of demand for watching movies I personally love movies Like I've said before I know I'm sure you love movies too Oh yes, I do Bad habits I came up with this platform It's bad Welcome to my platform Very Apasili kudandi Najua Nash is my subscriber in the valley I know he's been posting and reposting But now I love movies Okay So basically That's it So what kind of movies do we have on filamu International, local International Unfortunately local not yet Why not? As much as filamu is Kenyan we need Kenyan content on our platforms And unfortunately our systems They don't allow that Can you maybe just dig deep on that? These KFCB All those institutions which govern the certifications of having your own corporates Now that has been a challenge especially when it comes to uploading them to my server because they have to get the contents legally and they have to acquire them but there's a format in which we have to put it such that it fits everything that I'm trying to work on So are you saying these salamans you have acquired them illegally? No Everything is so legal It's my personal server So you can come over and watch whatever you like if it's on demand we'll find a way of getting it So what would make me decide to use filamu not Netflix, not showmax not... maybe when it comes to movie plug Nice, so that's a good question The answer is so simple me being a movie lover I've experienced so much challenges Let's say from the many processes that you go through for you to be able to even watch a movie you either get annoying ads or the payment is such a hectic process to get to Mine takes only 4 simple steps register choose your package pay, login simple as it is So other than that you also have qualities that can fit your network as low as 0.5 Mbps So what packages are you offering on filamu Right now I have 2 packages One going for 500 for 4 devices and for 4 devices I mean all devices that can watch anything that is on video format and the other one is 1000 going for 10 devices Oh 10 devices Considering that not many people have things as home internet numbani and everything and maybe I would want to watch a movie on filamu How much data would I consume if I decided to maybe just watch something on my phone We have very as I said we have very different qualities we have different qualities ranging from 144 pixels all the way up to 4k and basically the higher depending again on how much we need to watch the higher it goes the bigger the size but not so big it's compatibility to our our environment as Kenyans as Africa as a whole we can work with that An average person you can give a specific maybe if I had 1gb of data how much would that cover for me if I decided just to have 1gb of data how many movies can I watch could you give an estimate with proper pixels So for 480 pixels with less than 0.5 mbps that will take you about 2 series 2 series interesting I know I'm starting to get sold because it's not everyone who has for example where I stay we don't have home internet so I have to use my data that's why I'm asking for my safe and for others safe at home so what makes you stand out cheaper user friendly and again the interface it's so interactive interesting so where do you see Filamo in the next few years oh my god that is such a good question again Filamo in the next few years will be hopefully it will be something major in this country will be one of the major platforms offering this movie content all the series will have plenty of content to show already there's plenty of content and as time goes by more content is coming can we hope for Kenyan content we'll work on it you can like work with the producers and the actual film producers to be honest I'm looking forward to that but being a startup being a startup it's a challenge for now and that's why we say in a few years then we will have more content maybe Kenyan content hopefully again it's a startup and that few years will determine the steps and the more subscribers we get the better we get you get whatever you want and I get whatever I want to make you satisfied so how long has Filamo been operational who two years operational that is conception conception of the idea now when COVID-19 hits when you got your first subscriber that's when I got my first subscriber because I was working at home and I was working very vigorously on this and that's how I came about to have my first subscriber so how are the numbers so far how are people taking in Filamo are they watching the films and maybe their response and their reviews definitely okay you just give us the numbers the numbers let's say we are 500 plus right now I think that is good enough to start off that's very good for a startup by the way it's a startup again so we are working our ways slowly one step at a time DJ Nash is a good friend of mine he can attest to whatever he watches please attest to that I have experience here so I want to know how do you say that I post actually yesterday, Friday, no Thursday Thursday night after job I was watching Equilizer 2 as in seeing just check the time but now I don't know for me I have only paid for 500 shillings I don't have a package I don't have it so I watch the process here can register in everything is it seamless login, email and then the payments details and I can pay bills your card but for easy now viewers at home more mepata like an actual nasi kumhaipa na mahaipa I hope today we are giving 100% truth so so that is the if I wanted to subscribe to one of the packages I need to do a mani neza pata api filamu filamu is a very good platform again it's out there on our website filamu.co.k simple registration it only requires an email that's all you require from me na impesa kakiru lazima kakiru lazima okay so other than that what else are you working on like I said I'm a software developer so right now I'm working on a payroll system which again we'll go to the high end I hope it doesn't have a payment a payroll system so I'm hoping I'll come but that is on another okay so where can people find you on social media mani ne mwa says all my socials filamu again all the socials okay now that you've been here the entire time you were doing the show it's your chance to ask if no no no that is why that is why that is why that is why that is why that is why that is why that is why that is why that is why I thank you we've known each other we've known each other for long this is my cousin so he's my cousin who is he i DJ Nesh he was my friend I can't come here 100% true 100% true okay Um Staku danganya Entertainment industry is so tricky Unless when you learn something new you will learn it that you have a partner you have tattoos Oh God, doesn't even make it Yes, so you have to be one willing person willing to kubali Badu Yeah dojaku I'm free to do it kubali nina kuza nikiwa Entertainment Okay So at least I'm at party an honest answer I think Mike Kamayu kuapa DJ Neshana Piana very honest answer Thank you So once again we remind you our battle today is between Waire and Shamir Today my vote goes to Shamir and this is because he is a songwriter he is the whole package he has produced songs for other reggae artists such as when he came here for an interview he said that we should watch out for Kathima Tete he put him on the map he put her on the map there is another artist Beki Beki Mothoni and another one Timmy Life and considering that he went through a rough patch when it comes to management and everything and the reason he is a producer is because he does not want other artists kufaniwa kitu enye ya mefaniwa so that is why unapatana na mtu ana kugeuka he had a name and then producer kapaeana jinae kwa another artist so he had to change his name so akaba glisha jinae kuna mtu ali peya na jinae so this are the reasons why he decided to become plus he has a good year for music so my vote goes to Shanya Shanya mine goes to why re he is why he is business among his music background and stuff where he is one game I met him some time back when he got here he was also past time but he was always I love growing up just to watch why re
