Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film of this scale. Our producer decided that for the film to really work it had to be in Kenya.
firsts language film
In the studio system, things are expected of a film. By the first, second, third act, there's a generic language that comes out of the more commercial system.

I respond to a part just intuitively when I read a script.
ideas want stuff
I have a lot of stuff I want to talk about and offer up. It would be odd not to have ideas about something.

Success is all about being able to extend love to people. The people I consider successful are so because of how they handle their responsibilities to other people, how they approach the future, people who have a full sense of the value of their life and what they want to do with it.

You feel yourself working to show something. I've learned to distrust that feeling.
father would-be events
Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film.
