 Guys, I'm hanging out with a wiener. Congratulations, my dear. Thank you so much. Thank you. How do you feel? I'm happy and humbled. Yeah. That is awesome. Please introduce yourself and just tell us what you do. My name is Jerry Elizabeth Gateru. Most people know me as Neck Makeup, and I'm a professional makeup artist. I do film makeup and events as well. So I'm assuming the category that you are nominated in is the makeup category? Yes. Yes. I mean, I saw the list and you are nominated among very, very good makeup. I know. That's for sure. Like it was, it was tough because everyone there is like really good. I know all of them. I've worked with them and they are amazing people and they are really good at what they do. They are role winners. Yes. Humility Kando Kidogo. What do you think makes you stand out among the rest? Please speak here. I don't know. Really? I don't know. I mean, you've been told, you know, just pitch yourself to this client and just say why I should choose you and not this other one. What would you say? Because first thing first, I'm a professional makeup artist. I have experience in both film and the beauty industry and I'm skilled in both special effects, character makeup and beauty. Perfect. I mean, that's the wow factor. That is very good. Now, what do you think is going to change now that you've won this award? This for me is like a stepping stone. I can become better than what I am right now. And yeah, that's what I want to go for. Yeah. Yeah. Please encourage a lady, even a gentleman, a gentleman who's out there and is probably pursuing what you're doing right now. What I would like to tell anyone who wants to get into film and do makeup is that it's not an easy job. You have to read your scripts. You have to break down the scripts. And also, you have to lie us with the director and everyone else you're working with. It's a teamwork-oriented kind of job. You can't work alone. You have to lie us with everyone you're working with. Yes. Yeah. I mean, Kitambo, you tell your parents you want to be a makeup artist. Right. Oh my God. Let me tell you something. So I told my dad I wanted to be a makeup artist, my mom as well. And they were like, well, OK, so what's that? They didn't understand. But then this one time, I told my dad I need money to go buy a makeup kit. Yes. He was like, how much do you need? I was like, dad, I need $30,000. He was like, sour. So on a random day, he just calls me. He's like, hi, where are you? I'm home. OK. Come to this place. Come find me there. Then I get there. He gives me an envelope with $30,000. Oh, wow. What a supportive dad. Go start whatever it is that you want to do. It's actually his support that has brought me here. Oh my God. And look at you now. Yeah. Have you called him yet? So you're going to call him? Call him. I'll call him. I mean, what better thing than a parent supporting your art and your craft? This is very supportive. They've been very supportive. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, parents out there, you see what supporting your kids can do in whatever they're interested in doing? Very beautiful. You looked absolutely amazing today. Very nice. He looked the path. He did an amazing job. His name is Jim at Moine Satorial. He did an amazing job. Amazing, amazing. And you're working away with a win. Congratulations and all the very best. Thank you very much. Guys, I am speaking to a winner. Hi, my dear. Hi. How are you? I'm fine. How are you feeling right now? Humboldt. Yes. Well, you actually, OK. Please just tell people who you are and what category a few want today. I'm Agnes Kola. I've won the category of the best assistant director TV. Perfect. How are you feeling right now? I'm still in the moment. OK. Yes, I'm still in the, I'm still sucking it in. But it is not a one person kind of thing. It has taken a whole village. And for me, my village is Philip TV. Philip Karanja Abel Mutua, Denise Kibisu. I don't know how much I'll repeat the name Denise because she gave me wings and allowed me to fly. And that's why I'm here. And a lot of people have given me the opportunity to be here today. And so I look back and I say, it's not me. People held my hands. Wow, that's really beautiful. Now, looking at the people who were in the same category as them, how would you describe those women? They're phenomenal. They're good in what they do. I know them. I have seen them work. And being with them in the same category was like, if they win, I have won. And because I have won, they have won. Now, which film do you think has actually made you win this particular award? For the TV, let me say Hula Baloo and Undercover. Hula Baloo Estate. Undercover. And also, Grand Little Lie, GLL. Ooh, it has to be GLL, you guys. Now, looking at today, we are celebrating women. How does that make you feel that we are actually in this position that we are even doing events for just women? Women. Let me say it's empowering. And knowing a young girl, as I was growing up, I yearn for days that I will stand and win an award. And because I've done it, any other girl can do it. And so I stand here as a representative of. Yes. Why would you choose to work with Philly Production among any other production houses? Because they allow you to grow. There's one thing. If I mentor you, I'll give you wings and allow you to fly and not cage you. And for them, they allow you to fly. And when they see you fly, they don't see you like a threat. They see you as a success. And that's the beauty of it all. Yeah. Wow. OK. Now, how do you feel as a boss? The most humble person I've ever met. He brings on, he allows ideas. He wants to see us grow even as a crew. And when you're not working for Philly, he wants to see us working for other productions. And that's what I'm saying. It's all about expansion and growth. It's not just us. Yes. Yes. What will change after today? Now that you've won this award, what will change? It's a whole challenge. It's a whole challenge. But what will change is the way I see my God. He's a big God. Yeah. He has always been a big God. But he's a big God. Yeah. I mean, I would like for you, I would like you to, you know, just speak to the women that you are nominated in the same category. Tell them something. For the women who we were together in the same category. Guys, this is for you. And I said even before I came here, if one of you has won, I've won. And because I've won today, you guys have won. Yeah. There's no winner. This is ours. Yes. It's ours. It's our department. Yeah. Yes. All right, my dear. Thank you so much for talking to SPM Buzz. Congratulations to you. Thank you. Thank you. To even more, what? Amen. Women were not used to giving instructions as directors. We had challenges of cameras, lighting, laboratory processing. At times when we didn't have the proper machines to cut the matter. The film, because it was on sale today, we even used scissors. It was that difficult, but it continues. And I never dreamt of seeing a day where there would be so many women like this. Thank you, Dr. Susan, the director of the awards for beginning this award ceremony. And I believe that it's going to take women far. And what I'd like to encourage you, if we overcame, because, first of all, my mother was worried that I would never get married. Because she thought, between once they get working, it was just me. But I'd like to encourage you that you can be mothers, you can be wives, you can be friends. You should not stop you. And to be on Kenya, that our chief guest has said that we should market Kenya. Yes, let's market Kenya with our quality production. Let's become the best. We have great location, but we also have great brains. We can feed the films, so that Kenya films should be among the top international winning films. Yes, we have Karnatia, we can win at Karnatia, we can use it, win at Sanzibar, and just also look at the international markets. We can make it. Thank you very much. A master's who I wouldn't be if she didn't give me a chance. Perfect. So much for seeing me when I couldn't see myself. Thank you, thank you so much. For all the women nominated in this category, women, thank you for holding my hand during my transition from TV to film. That's enough, see? Thank you. Thank you.
