Before I ventured into film production, I have always loved watching films. There was no film industry in Lesotho, hence, I grew up watching foreign films from all over the world; especially Hollywood films. That is where I had my film industry personnel role models like Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Martin Lawrence, Samuel L Jackson and Eddie Murphy just to name but the few.

I then fell in love with acting. But it dawned on me, film in Lesotho is considered to have no market or career. Sadly, there was not anyone who would come down from Hollywood do cast me in a type of big film that I like. But one thing was real to me; I wanted to be in a film industry. So, it came to my attention that the only way for me to act in a film is if I make one myself. That is when I decided to make some research and learn how films are made and I accidentally fell in love with filmmaking whereas all I wanted was to be an actor.

I weighed which skill set might be the most complicated when making a film, and then I decided it was editing and I explored it. Luckily, my mother bought us a desk top computer that was running windows XP and I started to look for a software that might edit; I found window moviemaker classic. That is when I started using it to cut some random scenes and shots from big commercial films and using them to construct my own sequences and stories. I even created some 2D animation videos; my love for filmmaking was growing bigger and bigger. I eventually made an experimental film, Mosuoe. From the experience, I realized that I had a lot to learn ahead. I also realized that the software I was using to edit had too limited abilities, which meant there were more advanced and sophisticated ones out there, hence, I searched for them.

During my search I found out that although there was no film industry in my country, there is a university level studies of film production. After graduating from high school, I decided to include film production on the list of my applications of tertiary studies. I almost went for medicine but my love for film prevailed and I went for film production studies. During my studies, I made some memorable films; first of their kind ever produced in the country, SLEEP AFTERMATH and THE CURSE. After I saw how much people both locally and internationally fell in love with my films, I set myself a new ultimate goal; I wanted to develop the film industry in Lesotho and put my country up there with the big shots like Hollywood and Bollywood telling African stories as an African myself.
