Crazy World
Written, Directed, Shot, Edited & Produced by: Nabwana IGG
Available on YouTube's We Are One Global Film Festival.
This is a movie made in Uganda, the industry which is called Wakaliwood. They make action movies with budgets like 200$ and the filmmaker Nabwana IGG has to delete his old movies to clear his space to be able to make another movie. These films are made to entertain the people of their village, who struggle for resources even to live. He bought a camera with all of his savings and he's made 50 feature films from 2005. He never expected that anyone outside their village would watch their movies and guess what, TIFF screened this movie in 2019 and invited Nabwana to the festival and gave their team a much deserved applause. He adds a video joker, who keeps commenting as a voice over, sometimes explaining the scene and mostly mocking the scenes, to give it a parody kind of a vibe. Sometimes, when you think deeper it feels like a mockery of the big scale action movies made in Hollywood.
This is pure passion for cinema and this is a testament of how hungry we humans are to tell stories even in dire situations. They are an inspiration to indie filmmakers to pool up available resources and to make a film out of that. Some people make their best films in their debuts and some improve with every film and both of them are to be respected equally as long as their passion for cinema is the same with every film, if not more in the later ones.
