"I want to see the Rwandan film industry telling Rwandan stories and not imitating those from Hollywood.  I would love to see films telling our local stories on the international market.”

Mazimpaka Jones Kennedy.


"We still lack skills in production like script writing. Most script writers dwell much on the story without minding about the quality of slots. The truth is that Rwandan movies are trying.”

Julius Kamali.

"I want to see the Rwanda film industry grow and get no critique in terms of quality.”

Ishimwe Jackson.
