Maisha (which means ‘life’ in Kiswahili) is a non-profit training initiative for emerging East African filmmakers.

For Sixteen years, we have provided hands-on intensives in screenwriting, directing, producing, cinematography, editing, sound recording, and acting in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The last couple of years also saw us include Ghana and Ethiopia in our training programs.

We are now taking a two year hiatus to take stock of our journey and reimagine a new Maisha. One that will continue to support the growth of film professionals on the African continent.
