Very relevant topic. A shame that this goes on over and over again. Some beautiful shots, too. Kudos on effort put in. Looking out for more kiwo films

Great depiction. This movie should be made compulsory viewing for anybody who wishes to join the film industry/sector in Kenya.

So this is how it feels to watch yourself ah 😢😢😢. Great job Kiwo and the team 👏👏 💯

Hatuezi Endelea kuishi ivi 😭😭😭 this one has gone straight through my heart nimeifeel 😭😭😭 it's a shame it still happens 😥😥

Nime feel hii movie manze..... Brian.... Auudi.... Wakio manze mume piga kazi safi..... Not forgetting kawa na everyone who took part in this film manze mumepiga kazi safi 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

Wow! This is the side we don’t see. Well depicted. It seems to me you need to get yourselves a strong guild and union. As long as some of you are willing to go behind the backs of others, all of you will keep getting screwed over. Oh...And a really good lawyer and debt collector....

Oscars ya waiguru ikam thru walai this mama has mastered the art of acting to incomprehensible depths👍👍

This film paints the grim image of what artists have to go through... So many talents have been sacrificed for the sake of the greed of a few. It hurts. .. Inauma saaanaa

This is a true story of what most film makers and actors go through, blood , sweat and tears for no pay. Hope this film touches some of the crooked producers of tables turning . hats off to the script writers, producers, technical crew and cast of this awesome film

Audi is actually such a good actress. I for sure see great talent in her. May she be successful and everyone else...Manze this woman will be great. Mark this comment.

This is so disgustingly relatable..i mean right from auditions, sexual harassments, Crazy call times all the way to...the mobile subscriber is not reachable..!!!! Brian Ogola, peter kawa and rest you did a great job 👏👏👏👏👏

Am I the only one who loved that Sanaa went back for the flowers?

You have shown me myself 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎉🎉 good job friends.

Hii ni kali sana shots safi good work kudos

Don't even know how I made it to the end. Triggers everywhere! Aki I need to detox. Greg, you're my guy! Loving the growth and courage. Kudos to the cast and crew. Hatuwezi ishi hivi!

This name Waiguru😂😅🤣 I think it's now synonymous to self centered individuals. Wow! I loved how the calls were intercut, the what's app chat plane. A nice plot for an upcoming writer like me👍👌

We must care... Care for the craft, care for the time, care for the individual input. Give a Care!!!

Extremely proud of each and everyone in this film. Excellent work Kiwo Films.

So this is how it feels when your story is told as you watch it....... Where is the lie? I mean, this is our day to day life, this is what we go through each single time..... Ah Greg and team this is awesome, thank you bro

Early mornings, late nights, pressure at work, late payment, underpaid work hours, no job security, no allowances, sleepless nights due to fatigue, the list is endless. I hope this movie is the beginning of change.

...OMG this is great work💯❤,am so inlove with Kenya work...all the actors👌🏾 waooo💞...this is what we should be having playing on the Kenyan media especially now...the art is more louder ...This was so sad to watch knowing how the Kenyan situation Is rn 😭...yani the rich are out to exploit those who are just trying to put a meal on the table🥺

Triiiiggggeeeerrrrrssss....Good Job Greg! This is exactly what happens... Sad but true...I think most industry peeps would relate, years and years after a production and still no pay...sad state of affairs!

Not what I thought the topic would be but every filmmaker can relate.

Quite Sad that is the state of the Industry.Well Told!

Niliwaskia choice radio jana, the movie is actually way better than advertised,... relatable, catching and top notch acting.

Interesting! So this is what upcoming actors/actresses go through. I enjoyed the film. I watched this after reading the article on Buzz in Sunday Nation.

Utleast we know what you go through and its ashame.... It reflects everywhere.... Greatest film

I cried!! This is it guys. Hatuwezi endelea kuishi hivi😭😭😭😭

Awesome creativity...Nairobi deal makers

Awesome movie. Enjoyed every scene. Shots are amazing. Storyline, this is where they say nail on the head? Execs and prods.... Enjoy this one. There are bills to be paid and sorry won't pay my cheque - mate!

Great Film,I have gone thru this as an Actor.i dont think theres any Actor who has not gone thru this in his or her Acting Career.Nishawai fungiwa Nyumba some years back Landlord alikua ananishow mtu tunaona kwa Tv kila siku na anashindwa kulipa nyumba.Saa hio Producer ashaakula pesa zetu zote.

Every filmmaker relates😫😫 it's so sad. A1 production though👌👌👌

Loving the film,,,this theme need to be pushed creators need to be credited as they deserve #hatuezi kuendelea ivi

Hatuwezi endelea kuishi hivi.

If this is what artists go through, am sorry and touched.

Brave. Showing the ugly underbelly of the industry. Well done guys! The story is succinct and flows great through out. I really enjoyed the overhead shots of Nairobi. It was just especially beautiful in this film The part Brian’s character was preparing the equipment felt like a physical manifestation of how much a creative invests in their craft only to just take what they can get. Heartbreaking.

Kazi nzuri Sana. Keep up the good work.

Noma kazi fiti relatable..Hatuezi endelea kuishi hivi.

Thumbs up. Short film was fire. Well in!!!

This is what goes down.

This great work,hardwork, creativity invested.I am interested in this...and I would wish to join you and grow my skills too even as a talent,just to Know how all is done.

Told the stories of what we don't see... We really need to make the accountable accountable.... 😠👌

When a conversation starts with... ‘ I haven’t told anyone else this...’ sijui ‘We will have more projects in the future.’ Lies.

Weh! Ata nimekasirika afresh. The triggers in this story are not a joke especially for those of us who have families to care for.

This is so amazing 🔥👌 Everrybdy should see this 😎🎬📽️

Nimefika minute 20 and 14 secs... too relatable. Let me take alcohol ndio niendelee. Triggered

The auditioning part story of my life , awesome job my peeps 👏👏👏👏

We ni msee wangu, hehe!!! Crew iko na ma A listers! Anyone here talking about Peter Kawa's hands? This guy should be a hand model, hehe. Anyhoo, anyone in the film industry relates with this theme, thanks to Cheque Mate, the conversation's underway. Actors, Crew and other personal engaged in creating art, film or otherwise ought to be well compensated but GREED!!! Love the cinematography, shot after shot, congrats my brother, and to the whole team as well!!

Madam producer unanyoga bei Sana... Acting 👌... The story is on point... enjoyed watching

THE PAIN IS REAL

Creatives go through a lot .

Very nice work. Subtle lighting techniques, great sound and acting, special mentions to Sanaa and Zubedi.

😂😂😂😂 Waiguru did it again😂😂nice work great acting..well this is probably the reality in major cases..

Kumbe hivi ndio tunafanyiwangwa Woiyeeee soso Wasanii..... Nice movie inapendeza inafunza pia

This film should have more views.... Soooo underrated

Relatable and sad reality.... Good job!!!

From just the music at the intro and the tittle, I knew I had to get my bites and curl under the blanket, this is one of those.

Kudos......I loved watching this film Well done !🙌👏

This is the most relevant movie creatives need to see. I personally relate to the subject matter and I truly hope things will change in our creative industry. Great job Kiwo Films.

WOW......Just ...... wow!

Great stuff. I am not even in the industry but wanted to be the one to light up that match!

The side us the viewers never get to know about film industry, thank you for this. Good work faith and the rest of the crew.

This slaps hard....and it's the sad reality # hatuweziendelakuishihivi Great job guys

Well done movie! Can't wait for more from Kiwo films.

Great work Kiwo Films. Production and acting have been merged so well here.

An Amazing Production the story is Painfully, Annoyingly and Truthfully Interesting.....Great Work #KiwoFilms

This story has made me shed tears for real! Thank you for telling it so well! Here's to more awesome films.

Hehhe. Opening up the conversation

Great work guys! That's exactly what goes on in this industry of ours. So sad!

The first Kenyan Masterpiece. Been watching so many kenyan movies, this one here is one of a kind. Flawless.

My girl @Victoria mzenge never disappoint 👏👏👏👏👏

Great work friend keep it up 👍

This depicts what goes on in the society today. I love how the message is being passed

Heeeeh🔥🔥🔥, this is relevant in so many ways👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾really good

So much meaning in one film

Awesome

Damn, i love

The video editing skills are up there. I wish to see more like this.

Creatives deserve to be paid their worth ...great content and transitions

Wow.... I love the creativity. The actors did a great job, the whole team did an amazing job. It's a story that most of us can relate to In one way or another. Good job! Congratulations. We need more of this.

👏👏Tutaomoka tu siku moja, siku moja tu.

Anyone in the entertainment industry has gone through this and its so sad

Gees is this what the actors go through??....the movie is very informative kudos to all the actors.

So timely, entertaining and educative.

This is such an eye opener but also very sad

Awesome movie! Proud of you Faith and crew!

How painfully relatable. And how beautifully executed.

that lady bought a house in RUNDA KIGWARU

This is so true in so many levels .....

Brian Ogola...You are an amazing, amazing, actor.

Great work ,educative & good cinematography .

This is how casting directors play with our psychology and talent when paying

This is great. Great acting too, and I think other pros can speak for the technical bit but I like it too. Scriptwise, this script speaks to the heart. Anybody in the Kenyan art scene (I don't have the courage to call it an industry) will relate. It is one of the most real local scripts I have seen. A few loopholes though, I feel the scene at the restaurant was unnecessary. The theme of sexual harassment (which I think was supposed to be portrayed here) is so big to be just mentioned in passing without a resolve. It is as big as the theme of money which is adequately tackled. I think it would work either as a film on its own or given more prominence even in the current script but I guess that would make the film longer. Second, the supposed lynching of the rogue producer dragged for a bit long than necessary. Also question remains, how does that solve the actors' financial predicament at that moment? Something is missing too:signing of the contracts, and why those contracts do not work. Isn't it because people believe it takes a lot of money and time to file a lawsuit? Isn't the legal way something to explore too? All in all, this is a good film. I will rate 6/10.

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Current situation in our industry, beautifully portrayed ♥️♥️ Perfect👌🏾

Great job guys!... Just wonderful!

Wow! Please keep producing these films. Super relevant and informative. The acting is great as well.

Great work..

this is superb

Love the cinematography

Worth it, worth the watch, nice work depicted here
