A passionate Creative with a keen artistic eye and love for telling stories through tv commercials, films and documentaries
Along with 2 other friends Robert Mukasa and Arthur Nakkaka, we started Addmaya Motion Pictures in a small garage in Bugolobi Kiswa. The 7 year old company is most recently best known for it’s bleeding edge work on high end commercials on TV, Film/ Documentaries, Design Work and Web. Some of their clients include Orange, MTN, Warid, Watoto, GIZ, Vehicle Design Project-Faculty of Technology-Makerere University.
As a young child, I was always fascinated by the diversity in the film industry. A comedy or action film would move you and so would a thriller or horror and today we see some of this in music videos as well. I remember Micheal Jackson’s music videos right from Thriller to Black or White opened me to a world of exploration and doing things differently. I started searching and exploring new ways of tackling problems and that’s how I ended up in what I do now. I was heavily influenced by what I used to see on TV especially the international channels and I always wanted to bring some of that home. With a lot of digging and research I realised most of the projects that inspired me were only achievable through large teams and great minds coming together.
Now as creative director at Addmaya, I believe team work is the fuel that allows ordinary people to attain extraordinary results. Addmaya isn’t a place for lone-rangers or heroes. The mix of talent and purpose inspires performance and commitment to both success and fun. We continuously build and maintain healthy team spirit as none of us is as smart as all of us.
From animators, illustrators, cinematographers, script writers, designers, coders and thinkers, there’s room for every creative mind to excel. The Addmaya team carries a shared vision of where East African design and production should be in the near future. The relentless pursuit of this vision keeps us up all night.
