Transform Lives of African Youth by Making Films

Project Report | Dec 2, 2014
What if?

Hot Sun Film Schoolgrads and trainees on location

What if…

All the talented young people

living in urban slums in East AFrica

could tell their stories through film?

What would happen?

How would this change their lives, their families,

their communities, the media industry?

This is the vision of Hot Sun Foundation.

This is what we have been doing for seven years…

Providing accessible hands-on filmmaking training for

urban slum youth in Kenya and beyond.

Over 80 youth have graduated from our Foundation in Filmmaking course.

Most of them are working in the Kenya media industry.

There are so many success stories:

Alice is working in Dubai

Bonface has edited successful tv programs and documentaries

Wilfred has worked for tv, commercials and documentaries

Mariah is currently working on the Advanced Film Project

Moses has become a sought-after editor

Victor is a talented cameraman

And who stands behind all of these talented youth?

Who provided the opportunity for them to use their talents in filmmaking?

YOU and all of the supporters of Hot Sun Foundation,

through donating money, time, ideas, mentoring, social networking.

During this holiday season, and in every season, your support makes a difference.

Our major grant is ending this year.

We will continue to provide filmmaking training with your help and support.

#GivingTuesday 2 December 2014 is a day to show that holidays mean more than shopping - that people everywhere are willing to reach out and support others.

Thank you for all you do!

It is appreciated
