A documentary film and photography studio in Kampala, telling human stories for foundations, universities and brands across Africa and beyond.
Trusted by
We are Ugandan storytellers. We understand the culture, the people, the light and the logistics, and we bring the discipline of broadcast production to every frame, whether it is a rural field, a medical mission or a corporate stage.
Directors, DOPs and photographers in-house, with post-production handled end to end.
Based in Kampala and available across East Africa, the wider continent and worldwide.
From a single shoot to a full production, we shape the crew around the story.
We film sensitive subjects and vulnerable communities with care, consent and respect.

What we do
We take care of everything it takes to bring your story to life.
We shape the concept, research the story, and plan the script, schedule and logistics.
Our crew films on location with cinema-grade cameras, lenses and drones, and with respect for the people in front of them.
We edit, colour and finish the sound, then deliver your story in the formats you need.
No juggling separate crews, photographers and editors. Work with one partner from brief to delivery, whatever the size of the project.
