In 2008 three different directors who aspired to be true feature filmmakers established production companies but it was Matt Bish who had the most prominence in that he had completed his first feature Battle of the Souls in that same year. Matt Bish has quickly adapted himself to the market place in order to ingratiate himself to NGO's for documentary and infotainment projects while developing his own ambitious plans for feature film production, much in the manner of Carol Kamya. What marks his enterprise is his quick growth and establishment of his own name and enterprise within Kampala circles.



Bish too received training in England like Kamya with the same plan of returning to Kampala to establish himself. This he has done with remarkable speed and perhaps this can be attributed to the fact that his productions are a little closer to local sensibilities unlike Kamya whose first feature has a much more international sensibility. Nevertheless Battle of Souls distinguished itself outside of Uganda and immediately gave significant status to Bish. Perhaps no other filmmaker locally has actually connected so well with the local audience as Bish has done, particularly with his last feature film, State Research Bureau. He now has been accepted into international production support forums such as the Talent Campus as part of the Berlin Film Festival while also winning international script grants on the basis of submitted projects. But Bish has been determined to keep up a local roster of projects while preparing his larger projects.
