    Making Kenyan Stories Bankable: Craft vs Commerce Part 2: S5: EP 18

    This week, we continue the conversation with super star actress Kenyan actress Mumbi Maina, writer and director Arnold Mwanjila and Susan Mbogo from DocuBox as we unpack the realities of sustaining Kenya’s film and TV ecosystem beyond the creative process. The episode explores the tension between art and business: how filmmakers navigate funding gaps, ownership, monetisation models and platform demands while still protecting the authenticity of African storytelling. We also dive into the behind-the-scenes realities of production, collaboration and building structures that allow creatives to thrive long term. From Hollywood and Nollywood comparisons to the practical realities of working within Kenya’s growing screen industry, the 2-part episode looks at what it takes to create Kenyan aND African stories that travel globally. Key Takeaways from this Episode: 1.⁠ ⁠Great storytelling alone is not enough — sustainable ecosystems, funding structures and collaboration are equally important. 2.⁠ ⁠Writers, producers, actors and financiers must work in alignment from development to distribution. 3.⁠ ⁠Authentic African stories have global value when supported by strong craft and intentional strategy. 4.⁠ ⁠Ownership and monetisation matter: creatives must think beyond production into long-term sustainability. 5.⁠ ⁠The future of Kenya’s film and TV industry depends on building systems that support both creativity and commerce.

    Curating Festivals: Lineups & Experiences That Speak Volumes Part 2 | S5: EP 15

    On Part two of Curating Festivals, we are once again joined by Wanjeri Gakuru, Sheba Hirst and Ayrosh, who bring their own perspective, skills and experience on building festivals that resonate beyond lineups. We will go into building community, how to rally support, funding, and how to navigate behind the scenes crisis like cancellations or a no-show from a guest or artist. From music, literature to film and multidisciplinary arts, this 2-part eps explores how cultural festivals amplify voices, strengthen creative industries and create spaces for exchange. Our conversation also articulated a curator’s role. Key Takeaways from this Episode: Key Takeaways Curation is storytelling, it’s about shaping experiences, not just booking acts. Balance matters, blending mainstream, emerging voices, culture and history keeps festivals fresh and exciting! Festivals build ecosystems: workshops, pop ups and talks are as vital as performances. Scale with intention: growth shouldn’t dilute the festival’s core identity. Impact goes beyond the event: it's great to make money but lasting value is in community and connections.
