 Why 254? Thank you for staying with us on Why 254 News Updates and tonight we're talking about growth in the film industry. So far we've got to hear about the film that we've played for you at Trailer that is the wrath of betrayed souls by the by the... I don't know why your name is so... The Glite Legs are Global Productions. We've talked about why they chose to follow the path that you're following right now. Don't forget that you can be part of our conversation tonight by sharing your views and comments on our social media platforms that is on Y254 channel, hashtag Y254News. So, Edward, we've seen a lot of content, we've seen a lot of local productions that are very good but what do you think can be done more to make sure that we creating content that is sustainable in terms of we're not just going to shoot a film and you never want to go watch it again or in the middle of it you're not interested to watch it because you know there are films that you may want to watch Kamama Rakumi and you only manage to do that because the script is a good one how everything is laid out is so well so how do we make sure that we create good and sustainable content? On that, there's a thing that says if I want to cut a tree, if I want to chop a tree, I will take the first something like a quarter hours doing what's happening there. So, personally, I'm advancing my skills. I'll talk about skills, I'm not talking about education, I'm talking about skills. If you are writing a script, I'm a script writer, I don't even know how to write a script yet I want to write this script and just take it and shoot it like doing things faster without taking your time. So the first thing that should be done is let's focus more on our skills. Number two is that when we're doing something, let's not do a low budget movie. If you want something that can be watched and realized, I always say, talk about Western nations, I'm not comparing but it's good to compare to know yourself because if you want to go on top, you have to look at someone who is on top. The Western nations, they take their time. Example is fast and furious. I shoot here one week. Yeah and then it's out. Yeah, they take their time even one year when people are still waiting for it. So let's take our time when doing something. Also, if I'm an actor, let me look at the right where my audience are. If I'm an actor, I'll go to the director and ask me how should I do this. I will not go to a high school teacher to show me what to be done. So if you want a nice content, go to the people who are making the right content. Juki, we know in every industry, in every whether you're working in an office, wherever you're working, we have people who look up to you. We have people who see you based on the work that you do and they want to do whatever you're doing. Or they have a passion in acting but they don't know where do I go, how do I start. Maybe share some words to someone like what does it take to be a good actress as you are and what do they need to do? It takes patience, persistence. You have to keep rehearsing. You want to better yourself every single day. If you want to be a good actress, just use the mirror. That is everything that a good actor knows. We use a mirror. Act before that mirror and be your own judge. In terms of mentorship, who would you look up to in the acting world? Who inspires you? Nikmitumu. Okay. So to someone, maybe if a young girl came to you or a young boy and they are like, I would like you to be my mentor, I would like you, I like what you do. Would you take them up? Have you considered maybe trying to visit schools and talking to upcoming actors and actresses to show them the way on how to go about acting? I haven't done that yet, but I do train my friends. Those people around my cycle, they train them. So Edward, what are some of the challenges for the time that Glite Lakes Productions has been producing movies, what could you see as some of the challenges in the film industry in Kenya? Yeah, there are so many challenges. I'll start to talk as the director. Nowadays, nowadays the production manager in the television, they are like presidents. Like the presidents, they are kwa pata, because in gumusana. Like the watchmen are now the production manager. You go to a media house, when ina ni, nata kani ni, later, whatcha later hapo, so I'm a director. If I was an actor, handle me like an actor, but I'm a director, I'm someone who has at least a higher rank than the actor. At least let the production managers be available. Another thing, silence. The way I wrote a letter, so I have taken my letter, I have done this movie. There's no reply. I liked your movie, but this part is not good, correct on this. You write emails, you write letters. No one speaks. Another challenge, that is on the production managers. If they could be available, we could be so much thankful also to get back to us. Like I received your message, I'm working on it. On the acting part, there's a, on the acting part also, there's a big challenge. Like the Rat of Betrayed Souls, people are seeing it, it's a nice movie, but even during the day, it was 8.45 pm. Tomorrow is Friday, we are doing the shooting. The main cast, I'm not doing it anymore. The supporting cast, I'm not doing it anymore. So if you are someone who was, you don't know how to solve problems, UNEZA Shindwa. Okay. Yeah, so the lastly, and lastly, I can say on the coordination part, Kenyans have not yet realized like the western nations about the availability. If I go to a court to act, there's a way, there's a way Kenyans still don't know much about the film or else they don't allow it. But in the other side of the world, things are available. You see people shooting in the airports. Yeah. So let's use our resources. We have resources, we have big things. We have estates that Zinakaza Maju. These estates should be available for us to make a high movie that can be watched even by the President of the United States of America. Okay. So as we bring in Tresa to perform for us tonight, what are some of the challenges that you faced as an actress in the film industry in Kenya? Like that going for auditions and not getting cardbacks. There are works I did before never got paid. This is just... Okay. Tresa. Please join us. Tresa is going to be performing for us tonight. So how are you? How was your day? Chapatizaklisi, you metu lete asisi when you had to machine up for office. I think. I forgot something. Santa Claus. So... Okay. So I had some presents with me. Okay. Okay, I get her sweet. Thank you very much Edwin. So Tresa, please tell us what you're going to be performing for us and why you chose that certain poem. Okay, I'm going to perform about Christmas. What was jibambe? Okay. Yeah, and now I'll go. Because apart from be a bit hodibo. Apart from poechle mofanya acting. So sometimes neza kaizi beside kakitu kama kujakwa kitu anandika. So that's how it came. Okay. Yes. Okay.
