Young people in the country have been urged to embrace the creative arts and film industry not only as a form of entertainment but also a way to make a living.
To help the youth achieve this, the department of film services under the Ministry of Youth and Creative Economy has been training the young people on technical skills needed for film production and has so far trained 200 youths.
The Department of Film services aims to empower youth groups by enhancing their knowledge, experiences, and skills while investing in their ideas, innovations, and initiatives in order to harness its demographic dividends by 2030.
According to the acting Director for Film Services Regis Ondieki, the students have not only received skills in storytelling but also been involved in hands-on training on handling various technical equipment used in filming.
