The Ghetto Film Project

In these photos of Sarah and Anisha it's evident that school is not just a place we get an education but rather a place we build everlasting memories and everlasting friendships

We had ground and door to door distribution of scholastic materials and other back to school necessities last Saturday at the The Ghetto Film Project and it was so mich fun. We partnered with Fuel My Dream, Play House and African Dream we had hair cutting as well fpr the kids to go back to school looking 👌🏽. We want to extend our gratitude to everyone that came through and helped with whatever they could.

Always fun seeing the happy faces of the little ones😊

How we spent the weekend together preparing for The Ghetto Arts Festival 💃

We are proud to collaborate on this amazing project. We can shape the course of our history by making these choices today.

WHY AFRICA HAS TO TELL IT'S OWN STORIES.

Here is an unofficial poster for our 2D animation feature titled Njabala;a native Buganda and Bantu folklore. A production by Nes Motion Media collaborating with Wooofbunny, the production of this story is fully done on African soil but 100% an African team.

Now statistics show the power of storytelling through motion picture but particularly animation stands out for me. Animation is a medium that can be consumed by all demographs in terms of Age,Gender,Race etc and as well a great way to tell African stories that would be so hard to recreate based on time they take place,locations,costume,props etc. The question is, why then is there just 2 animation films by African's all this while?

It is important for Africans to tell their own stories as we don't imagine how it happened because we lived through it;we understand the context in which a story is told and not just how the story goes... We understand the narrative.

As Nes Motion Media, we aspire to create and recreate African stories with Social,Cultural and Historic significance. Stories that might not be commercially looked at are the stories we find great value and importance in.

We are here for our weekly Saturday program as we have always done for the past 8 years. The kids program as usual includes Chess, Volleyball,Music, Beatboxing,Reading story books,fine art while the youth program as usual revolves around our film masterclass that is in its 6th week for the class of 2020.

Join us every single Saturday 2pm-6pm. All we need is your time and your smiles.

Last Saturday we had our 3rd day of class for our current 2020 film class. We are so excited embarking on this journey with these creative minds.

We are dedicated to improving how we tell our stories from a humanitarian point of view.
