Are they selling Kenyan stories? Of course not they are but not to the extent that it should be Chukuna stories tamusana Chukuna stories tamusana from crime thrillers dramas comedy we have a myriad of stories that need to be told na industry may develop on all levels I think what where we need to develop further we need to develop our writers need to step up the plate na by writing an amazing story an amazing story told in the most amazing way can cover for other aspects of production that's what I mean Nigerian stories are well told so production quality is bad but Uzakao and Nigerian moving to the end because the story is amazing so our writers need to step up the plate and tell our stories in a very creative intriguing and amazing way they need to go to school because technically we've developed I've just done an acting masterclass with Edgar Zegui so I'm developing myself what are the writers doing because so we have amazing stories how they've been told next question you've been relevant you've been relevant in this industry maybe can you tell us what keeps you going or what makes you relevant every time nye passion nye passion I'm a man that is in my moment I'm a man that is in my calling I'm not a fake work accountant fake work scientist I'm a man that is in my element I'm a man that is doing what I was born to do what keeps me going even when things are tough this is my passion this is my calling I'm a man that has been called to do amazing stories and change, directs and courage, admonish people so that's why I keep going I was crippled as a missing out on telling our stories do you feel like it's time for you to step up produce your own movie or series because we have the great of Kina we have the great of Kina Baba you know Kuna Mandamano movie na fokshutia if given a chance to see if we have those beliefs of someone having a barlman it's a magic amazing challenge something in Mekwana Kifkiria there comes a time when I know all the loopholes in the industry I know how to cover them good point bro it's time for me to produce time for me to tell these stories but in a manner that I feel is deserving to the story so yeah I'm in that I'm telling my own stories in my own way adakama see a movie I'm at TV production the stuff I'm doing by the side lastly maybe it's kuhumalizia talk to Ayanga who's looking up to you every single day Nyanga leo api Kamera gaeni ho ya Ayanga e kulepale usha kwa mama usha fail two young man and young lady who are out there na fukiria hey what's up my advice would be find your passion find your place of calling and then kaha po because calling passion is where you are meant to be even where I'm tired I feel exhausted is because you are wrongly placed you are meant to be an accountant and you are doing science you are meant to be a business person and you are doing art so if you find your place of calling your place of destiny your place of you know divine destiny aponduna fukue I am an actor by calling I am an actor by destiny so I don't feel I'm tired I'm always going because it comes within me so for the young people your place of calling talk to your parents talk to your teachers talk to God now open a place in you na fukue and then in that place educate yourself invest yourself invest your time and move on alright thank you so much my brother just pass this message to be in I'm looking for to see him in a film make sure he's featured in a film pass that to be in
