Hassan Tha Kreator: filmmaking in Nigeria and Rwanda
Across the world, many people's dream job is located somewhere in the creative economy. Making films and creating video content has become much more accessible over the past few years, and as the digital realm brings the world closer together, collaborations across borders can emerge in creative fields that were hitherto limited by geography.
In our conversation, Hassan Tha Kreator tells me about his journey as a young filmmaker from Nigeria to Rwanda. We speak about the vast differences between these two countries, the future of African filmmaking, and how the strengths of different countries can complement each other as Africa's creative economy expands.
