Ernest Napolean:"Why Tanzanian Movies Aren’t Getting Better" ||EP 99

Send us Fan Mail What’s up No Trollers 🔥 Today we’re joined by Ernest Napoleon , filmmaker, actor, writer, director, producer, and former TV presenter and DJ. He’s written, produced, and starred in films like Going Bongo and Kiumeni, but today, we’re getting into a much bigger conversation. “We don’t have good films in Tanzania.”  That’s something Ernest said, and we’re unpacking why he believes Tanzanian filmmaking isn’t where it should be. Is it the actors, the directors, the writers, the producers, or a system that needs to change? We get into the reality of making films in Tanzania, why casting fame over talent can hurt a production, where the money actually comes from, and whether African filmmakers are given the same opportunities internationally. He also opens up about his journey across different creative fields, the power of film to influence the mind, the truth about awards and fame, and the challenges young filmmakers need to understand before entering the industry. So, why aren’t Tanzanian movies getting better? And what needs to change?
