I do want to thank the researcher Mr. Gershom Kimera for focusing our attention to the timely topic of Uganda Film Industry, a neglected orphan. This is my response to the significance of this research. 1. Uganda is a land locked country with land size of 93,000 sq. miles; and over 40 million people. It serves as an economic hub for several neighboring countries. This then describes the strategic location that Uganda occupy s' if the film industry can be developed. 2. The Uganda Institution of Film Industry landscape is characterized by a strong invasion/presence of Hollywood and Nigerian Nollywood productions; dramatic change in in technology ; lack of government governance strategies; local universities failure to produce skilled graduates. 3.

Thanks Gershom for this documentary highlighting the background and status of Ugandan film industry. I like the fact that you were able to interview the different stakeholders ranging from the Film Practitioners and Regulators. The Film industry in Uganda has a lot of potential to create employment, promoting Uganda's cultural identinty, heritage, and tourism. I thus commend this project and encourage the different stakeholders including Government to give the Film industry due attention through Funding to enable it achieve its full potential.

Jackline thank you for your comments and you are welcome to contribute further on what you think should be done to professionalize the Ugandan Film & Television media production industry.

These video clips are definitely not made from smartphone cameras. The quality is outstanding. In addition to good gadgets, as one of the interviewees mentioned, the professional dexterity of the person handling the camera determines the quality to a great extent. That's something that has set these clips apart. Well done, Gershom. You're bound to be a great producer/director.
