Hello everyone, I hope you are well. My name is Kasawuli Bantu Mutebi, a filmmaker based in Uganda, East Africa, fully operating and specializing as a cinematographer. I have been part of several projects, both short and feature-length, and my latest short film, Jimbi (2024), has been a great success. The film addresses issues of sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice.

Film Synopsis:

A timid man who looks away after witnessing a sexual assault begins to develop a mysterious skin rash that threatens to transform him into a mythical creature known as Jimbi.

I joined Stage 32 a few years back, but I haven’t created enough time to actively network with fellow creatives here. Now, I’m more intentional about connecting, sharing ideas, seeking knowledge, and building collaborations. I believe that with a shared vision, we can explore and travel the world of storytelling together. If any creative is ever willing to travel to this side of the world, let’s connect—I’ll gladly create time to show you around.

Thanks, and I’m happy to connect and network!

Great to meet you here, Kasawuli! Your short film Jimbi sounds powerful and full of symbolism. I’m currently developing a sci-fi concept called Two Faces of the Moon that also explores human rights, justice, and survival through metaphor. I’d love to stay connected and exchange ideas on storytelling.
