With just two short films in, Nsamba George Stanley’s film career has just made its baby Steps. In a space of not more than 8 months, Nsamba together with his team have put out two short films; Crafts and Silent depression.

Slum Film Festival is a community-based annual film event featuring stories from, by, and about people living in urban slums. It is both a celebration of the creativity of filmmakers living and working in slums, as well as an opportunity to promote – through a week of outdoor screenings – a diverse range of films within communities with limited or no access to cinema.

According to East African Voice, the film-maker will be the main facilitator and trainer at this year’s Slum Film Festival two weeks workshop starting on 3rd – 15th August. At the end of the two weeks workshop, Nsamba and other filmmakers will shoot a ten minutes short film that will be screened at the end of the Slum Film Festival.

Nsamba Stanley is in preparation of shooting his third short film titled ‘The Dummy Team’, which he says will feature the entire community on the Ghetto Kids under his Ghetto Film Project umbrella.

Speaking to our rep, the filmmaker said that “The short film was an idea I conceived immediately I saw that picture of kids making a documentary set with film equipment made out of sticks and bottles“. “The film is a story of ghetto kids that get inspired to remake a film after they watch it being made and thus the name of the film ‘The Dummy Team’,” he added.

The short film will star Jean Jovitah Kobusingye alongside Pamela Keryeko supported by Malcolm Kawooya, Maggie Ndawula, Agee, Ryan Ssebagala and Jolly Sitenda.
