Nathan Kiwere (Nate)

Nathan Kiwere graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial and Fine Arts in 2002 from Makerere University, Kampala Uganda. His fascination with film came when he sought to blend the visual arts and audiovisual media with several experiments over the years. However, his film endowment came to the fore when he joined film exhibition, working as program manager and later as director of Amakula Kampala International Film Festival, Uganda’s oldest and premier social event until 2012. He wrote and directed his first short film titled Missing in Berlin (2013), which was shot mainly in the Berlin metro and the snow-laden boulevards. His interests range from documentary films to features and he has a series of international co-productions in development. He studied film festival and event management from the Deutshe Welle Akademie in Berlin and later enrolled for film production at the One Fine Day Film Workshop in Nairobi. Nathan is a founding director of Sword Entertainment Inc./Coronation Pictures, a content development and distribution company based in Kampala, Uganda.
