Ugandan born 24-year-old Aaron Joseph Tamale from Uganda is one of the four lucky candidates’ selected out of the MultiChoice Talent Factory that has been on since June this year, he and 3 others will be heading to Nairobi, Kenya for skills training.
Aaron wants to become a successful media entrepreneur, film director and producer so that he can write compelling television content “for our minds and hearts – that will change people’s lives”.
He draws inspiration from Clarence Peters for his diversity, creativity and the freshness he brings to his various projects, whether they be music videos, documentaries or TV features.
Aaron believes that storytelling is the essence of making a good film because it either makes or breaks it. “Everything in the film is part of the story from the script and dialogues to the lighting and sound, as well as the costume and set designs.
Aaron, who has earned the nickname Media Mogul, is passionate about digital media and dreams of owning a streaming site for distributing and monetising locally-made content.
“It’s only a matter of time and Hollywood is running to Africa for more ideas,” he says.
