Pictures: The #RFC2026 participants deep in the craft.
We split into focused training tracks – Cinematography led by the duo Denis Onen & Ignatius Bulega, breaking down framing, lighting, camera movement, and how to capture emotion in different shots.

Meanwhile, Esunget Cyrus & Eunice Acan took Writers, Directors & Producers through story structure, character development, scene blocking, and turning ideas into realities. These hands-on sessions are where raw talents meet real skills, and tomorrow, pitches and story selections – the stories that make it will be shot here in Soroti.

Quick spotlight on Day 4 in Soroti: #RFC2026 is proving again why these regional competitions matter.
With the jury (Matt Bish, Nathan Magoola, James King & Doreen Mirembe) now engaged, participants are getting unfiltered industry perspectives. Denis Onen's feedback loop on yesterday's shoots was candid, honest, actionable, and exactly what emerging filmmakers need to grow.

Gonza's nudge to leverage AI/internet proactively, and it is more clear that this isn't just training, but empowerment. We're equipping storytellers to not only create meaningful local content but to sustain careers that represent Uganda.

The #RFC2026 hands-on activities in Luwero continue to focus on practical production realities. Participants are learning to hire and assemble lean, effective teams, including writers pairing with directors, producers locking in cinematographers and sound professionals, all while navigating budgets and roles typical of independent projects. They're becoming familiar with production equipment, including handling cameras, lights, and microphones, in low-resource setups that mirror what most Ugandan filmmakers face daily.

Site identity and security lessons are key too, scouting authentic locations, securing permissions, managing crowds and safety, so the focus stays on the story, not logistics. These skills ensure their stories are told professionally, preserving culture while building careers that can compete anywhere.

Stop Recording, Start Directing.

Today it's much easier to reach the world with your own version of the story than it was in the past.
If you had a chance to ask your future self a question from the past, what would it be?

This season is just a story waiting for our verse. Red dust writes its chapter on our skin—but we answer with stories, songs, and laughter that remembers rain. 2025 is a story we'll end in chorus. The next page turns soon, and we’re already singing. #UgandaDecides2026 #Stories

Tokigeza . It’s not just a word. It’s a warning. When you vandalize telecom masts, you don’t just destroy infrastructure, you put lives on the line. No network = no emergency calls and now, vandalism can land you up to 10 years in jail.
