#the trend.... Appreciating the lesser film maker

Hey guys...
So am watching #the trend and this lady Anita Nderu is pretty awesome... She thinks before talking and she deserves to be on the the show.
On other news.... I know that I love live action movies but do you think that Hollywood is pushing the envelope a little too much... So in the last decade we have experienced live action from Marvel and DC comics thing... To watching chipmunks... For those whom don't know.... They are like cute rats... Chipmunks singing! To ninja turtles coming to live... Its been a crazy couple of years with technological advances I.e. motion capture what what.... I love this age. This is the perfect age in film. Think about it. There are just enough guys with the tech to lie to you proper... Imagine an age when everyone had the tech to do a 3D film... Sema monotonous! So find a way to appreciate the good old 2D.
#@LarryMadowo yes the arts should pay more in Kenya. I don't plan to work in any other industry. Truth.
Back to what i was yapping about... Film.... I also needed to talk about the independent films. Indie films are the steppingstone for all the great film industries. Any film enthusiast will tell you that their now favorite, most awesome film makers started from making low budget indies. The best part about Indie films is the level of creativity... See the thing with such films is that the film makers are not controlled by corporate giants sited behind designer grand desks who speak in dollar bills.... A non-film maker can never make decisions concerning film. Consider this.... An engineer (big ups to KQ technicians and engineers!) Running a hospital... Disaster! Same thing with the film industry. Bana... Kenya film commission fix this!
All I'm trying to say is that Indie films are the backbone of true film. Unlimited creative minds not hindered by corporates. So more than once in a while... Make your way to the nearest theater and look beyond your blockbuster and see that little film maker who spent all his savings making that film and see what you are missing out on.

Have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe.
