Joan Kabugu: Madam Chief

Joan Kabugu

Joan Kabugu's original debut into writing had nothing to do with film scripts, she first authored a popular children's book "The Boom Boom Bus" for which she is better known. Her foray into serious film-making came when she joined Medeva, a local production house for a TV/Radio production training program. The program gave her the basic skill set for a career in film but it is Maisha Film Lab that gave her the opportunity and means to write and produce her first short film, Madam Chief.
