Why Ugandan Movies have low Quality than Music
The Uganda Movie industry still lies far behind compared to International Movie Industries like Bollywood, Hollywood, Nollywood And Movie Production Companies/Studios the likes of Netflix, Disney world, Marvel, Universal Studios, Golden Harvest, Eros International and many more other companies across the globe.
The Fiktube Webinar
Fiktube Media organised an Open Webinar On Zoom which was conducted on 11th July, 2020 At 3pm to discuss and collect ideas from different people all over Uganda to see that we can also transform our movie industry.
The Webinar was Moderated by Mubiru Shafik Co – Founder Fiktube Media. According to research available, Uganda’s music videos are at least advancing and the issue was “can’t we use those music video producers/directors to work on the movie industry?”, this brought this dialogue with a number of Panelists; Mr. Ssejjengo Frank, Mr. Allan Saava Nyende, Miss. Esther Muhoza, Mr. Ntambazi Acram Mpungu, Mr. Trevor, Angel Family Films, Mr. Reagan.

Mr. Ssejjengo Frank Team Leader WAY – We Are Youths Organisation, in his submission he addressed that there’s lack of collaboration between IT Specialists and the industry, in addition that the music industry is full of politics on which it’s clear that Bobi Wine can not have access to Uganda’s Number one Video Producer (Sasha Vybez) because he’s Bebe Cool’s man. You find that a country that is still in takeoff position is now sinked with politics.
Allan Saava Nyende is an LC III Councilor aspirant Makindye West, Lukuli Parish, according to his submission was also not far different from Mr. Frank’s submission, he also addressed that Uganda needs to at least collaborate with the government in power to transform the industry, he for instance said if it’s an Artiste/Actor but in opposition won’t be given accessibility to government equipments that might be required by the industry such as guns, military uniforms and security.
Miss Esther Muhoza is a second year year student at Makerere University and also a GRC aspirant of the School of Women And Gender Studies, she said that the industry needs to start writing proposals and send to different government ministries including the Tourism Industry because first of all Movies do contribute to the tourism sector because these places featured in movies do attract tourism for instance if a movie is acted on wildlife eventually people who watch the movie will be wanting to physically visit the area. Esther also criticised the arts(People in the industry) for failing to attend such dialogues like this one to help them address issues and find solutions.

Keanu Reeves is a Canadian actor who has appeared in films, television series and video games. He made his film debut in the short One Step Away in 1985. The following year, Reeves appeared in the crime film River’s Edge, and the television films Babes in Toyland, Act of Vengeance, and Brotherhood of Justice.
Mysterious Journey
He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident.
His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need.
When he was filming the movie “The Lake House,” he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $ 20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman’s bank account;
He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $ 50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects – the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: Be a good person.
Joke Made About Him in 2019
Ugandan talented artistes come together to bring this masterpiece “Teddy“, Racheal and Segayoz one of Uganda’s most creative musicians, is known for his distinctive musical style and for the perceptive social commentary in his lyrics, his compelling personal narrative and deep understanding of linguistic nuance. The duo joined hands together with Seksam Apanze Beat and composed this outstanding piece entitled Teddy which is inspired by Zimbabwe’s popular musician Oliver Mtukudzi’s “TODI” which contributes to a dialogue about the expectations of HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns, the allowance of individual expression, and the question of effectively addressing anti-AIDS messages to the public.
Teddy is a Ugandan version in Ganda language which this time around contributes to a dialogue about individual expression of love towards women who exchange money for love and men who expect to get something after spending their money on women who do not love them but because they put money ahead of everything. The song outlines consequences of monetization of relationships, it was written and produced by Seksam Apanze Beat from Era Records and released through Fiktube Media Limited and Magroove.

Nze Akwagala” is a song by Ugandan singer Sinaman and Ugandan record producer Seksam Apanze Beat. It was released through Fiktube Media LTD, Amuse, and YouTube on July 04, 2022, as the first collaboration from Sinaman’s first studio album, Nze Akwagala (2022). It was later included on the 2022 reissue of Seksam’s debut studio album, Apanze (2022). The song was written by Seksam Apanze Beat, with production handled by the latter two.
‘Nze Akwagala” marks the first collaboration between Sinaman and Seksam, and it is the first where Seksam is credited as an artist. Past songs where Seksam is credited as a producer and songwriter include “Airport” and “Omugagga Ajja” by Segayoz Eyakuguka in 2022, “Superstar” in 2022, and “Oli Wange” by Novity Owekibila in 2022. “When [Sinaman] and [Fik] told me to jam on this song to be honest it was hard for me considering how my policies run, it was to get through some of these verses,” Seksam told Fiktube Media of the song. At one point, Seksam broke down and cried in the studio. “I went into the studio and sang through it which wasn’t easy but started to really see the importance of telling this story! It made me realise we all feel love unconditionally at times! Being someone in my position I believe it is powerful to express vulnerability and that’s why I believe this song is so powerful!” Speaking of the song, Sinaman revealed that Seksam was “real touched”, and contemplated on whether to release the song. “Because he’s like, ‘People know me for this thing and it’s like I’ve never been this raw.’ He’s raw on this song. This song brought us so much closer together. And it was just he’s really opening up on this and he’s super vulnerable.”
Release And Promotion
The song was first hinted at by Fiktube Media on July 4, 2022, when fiktube media posted a series of posters on social media, including one with Seksam looking onto the left and Sinaman facing right half portrait onto Fiktube’s advertisement for the song. There was also a picture of Seksam standing in front of a real-life billboard with the photoshopped ad. On June 28, Sinaman posted a short clip on social media, which features himself, and Seksam. The post reads: “Next month …” Sinaman posted the short version of that clip, which sees Audio playing along with their poster and being welcomed with an array of odd phrases, before being greeted by some artiste who was awaiting him to post on his handles and WhatsApp status. He also teases 30 second audio visual release “next month”. On July 04, 2022, Sinaman and Seksam confirmed the song and its release, along with the artwork and a link for pre-saving the song on digital download and streaming services. Fiktube also posted a short snippet of the song on their Instagram Stories, and shared a still from the audio visual video. On July 03, almost a day before the official release time, an early snippet of “Nze Akwagala” was made available exclusively in Fiktube Video’s “Featured Music” list of its new feature called Fiktube Music, which allows users to play and watch the featured music videos on their website
