The shooting of the first ever Ugandan-Nigerian film started in a plush home in Buziga, a Kampala suburb. Zack Orji, the producer and director, plays the role of a dad with three daughters, being hassled by relatives to produce an heir.

Death in the theatre
"Death marks the climax," Charles "Siasa" Ssenkubuge, explains. For Shakespeare, death is too gruesome to be staged. It can only be reported. The Ugandan stage has seen all kinds of death, where someone may be put in a coffin.
Siasa reminisces a time he was directing a play and the character who was supposed to act dead refused the role. She would not get into a coffin," he recalls.
