Life is full of twists and turns; one minute you are the hero, the next you are the villain. Filmmaker Stanley Nsamba aka Nes tells a touching story about this unpredictable life in his short movie titled “Crafts”.
The five-minute narrative tells a story of a young lover who lost his relationship on the way to finding his purpose in life. A 19-year-old Shafi who was dumped for his childish ways after picking crafts on his way to meeting a girl he was trying to woo, would later be filled with joy after the same crafts brought a smile to the street kids he donated them to.
The movie that stars Sharif Uzabumwana and Patience Aber as the lead characters is written and directed by George Stanley Nsamba. The movie also stars rapper Malx aka Malcolm Kawooya and a street kid known as Mujapani. The audio production is done by Urban Aksent Music (Lawraid Vybez).
The film is expected to be out in about two weeks and will be distributed to various international film festivals.
