1. Access to Resources and Facilities:
The ICT Hub will provide film makers with access to state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, and resources needed for film production. This includes production studios, editing suites, cameras, lighting equipment, and more. By offering these resources, we aim to remove the financial barriers that often hinder filmmakers from realizing their creative visions.
2. Training and Skill Development:
The ICT Hub will organize workshops, training programs, and masterclasses focused on various aspects of filmmaking, including scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, and production management. These training initiatives will help film makers enhance their skills and stay updated with the latest industry trends and technologies.
3. Networking and Collaboration Opportunities:
We will facilitate networking events, meet-ups, and industry gatherings where film makers can connect with each other, exchange ideas, and collaborate on projects. The Trans Nzoia Film Makers Meet Up and the monthly film screenings, "Hadith Kikwetu" #OurstoriesOurWay, are examples of such initiatives. These platforms will foster a sense of community among film makers and create opportunities for partnerships and collaborations.
4. Promotion and Exposure:
The ICT Hub will actively promote the works of local film makers through various channels, including social media, online platforms, and local events. We aim to showcase the talent and creativity of Trans Nzoia County film makers to a wider audience, thereby increasing their visibility and opening doors for further opportunities, such as film festivals, distribution, and funding.
5. Access to Funding and Grants:
We will explore partnerships and initiatives that provide financial support to film makers, such as grants, funding opportunities, and sponsorship programs. Through these collaborations, we aim to assist film makers in securing the necessary funding to bring their projects to life and support the growth of the local film industry.
By providing these resources, training, networking opportunities, promotion, and access to funding, the Trans Nzoia ICT Hub aims to empower film makers in Trans Nzoia County, catalyzing their growth and contributing to the overall development of the local film industry. We welcome all film makers to join us at the Trans Nzoia ICT Hub and together, let's create a thriving and vibrant film community in the county. #Kitale #filmmaking #welcomehome
