Mevis Birungi

My skillset focuses on filmmaking and spans shooting, planning and co-ordinating, approach and insight, and scriptwriting, acting, and editing.

Through Creative Workforce for the Future I have gained the skills necessary to pursue my desired career. I have also gained access to a network of industry professionals and like-minded collaborators.

It's refreshing to see someone that looks like me, that is of colour and female pursuing a creative career.
