biography

My name is Emma Okello, a passionate filmmaker, I began my journey in 2019 by teaching myself filmmaking through YouTube tutorials. In 2023, I had the privilege of attending a free filmmaking course offered by Opportunities Uganda, which greatly enhanced my skills and deepened my passion for storytelling. Inspired by this experience, I created my first short film, Hypochondriac, which was nominated at the 2024 Uganda Film Festival. Building on this success, I have recently completed another short film titled Reverie. I am also honing my skills in scriptwriting, with a particular focus on crafting compelling plot twists to create unforgettable stories
