About

At 13 years old, in rural Kenya, I first discovered cinema through Mexican telenovelas on our family’s first TV. That early spark ignited a passion for storytelling that has since evolved into my career as a film producer, where I balance creativity with logistics to bring diverse narratives to life.

Today, I’m known as Chepsee, a film producer exploring the future of African cinema. From experimental short films at Griffith Film School to research on AI as a co-producer in Kenya’s independent film industry, I’m driven by the belief that stories can inspire, disrupt, and reshape cultural landscapes.

Experience

My journey in film began on screen, acting in numerous short films and stage productions during my undergraduate years. Those early experiences in performance deepened my understanding of character, emotion, and story — skills that would later inform my transition behind the camera.

Over time, I found myself drawn to the intricate balance between creativity and coordination — a balance that defines the craft of producing. That discovery shaped my focus, leading me to specialize fully as a film producer. Today, I approach each project as both a storyteller and a strategist, committed to nurturing ideas from concept to screen.

Film Education Background

At Griffith, my studies focused heavily on film producing, exploring diverse production methods including on-location shoots, virtual production, car commercials, and other  workflows. The international learning environment allowed me to collaborate with filmmakers from Kenya, India, Mainland China, Taiwan, pakistan, vietnam, malaysia, Singapore, Norway, Mongolia, australia etc., broadening my perspective on global storytelling.

Professional Background

Since then, I’ve produced a wide range of short films, branded projects, and experimental pieces, working across genres and production scales. My work emphasizes collaboration, cultural authenticity, and innovation — blending creativity with strong organizational frameworks.
Through each project, I continue to refine my approach to producing: connecting people, ideas, and resources to bring powerful stories to life.

My professional path began in 2018 as a Story Developer for the Kenyan TV show The Trap House on NTV Kenya, where I contributed to narrative design and creative development. This experience sparked my interest in behind the scenes roles and also structured storytelling within television and film production.
