YAKWETU to screen Influenced and Teka in Nairobi

In 2024, what is reality really? That’s the question that #WeWatchKenyan with MyMovies.Africa shall examine during its sixth watch party of the year at OUT Reality, The Mall (basement) in Westlands, Nairobi on September 7, 2024 from 06.00 pm for a 07.00 pm screening and 08.00 pm-09.30 pm question & answer with the cast & crew.

Created by YAKWETU, #WeWatchKenyan with MyMovies.Africa is a monthly watch party aimed at promoting local film and content, as well as building a community of Kenyan creatives who actually watch Kenyan content!

The two short films this month consist of:

1). Influenced: Dive into the glamorous yet fragile world of Ben (George Waweru) and Kay (Ciku Waithaka) – a popular influencer couple. Watch as their picture-perfect life begins to crumble during a pivotal shoot, exposing the raw emotions behind their curated image.

2). Teka: Feel the intensity of Amani’s (Nick Olwah) journey, burdened by debt and desperate enough to kidnap a social media influencer – Hope (Amina Hussein). Their encounter is a gripping tale of vulnerability and unexpected connection that will leave you breathless.

“Being a social media strategist and a film critic, this is such a perfect conversation for me to moderate,” says Nkatha, host of Talk Film To Me podcast. “I can’t wait to watch these two films and discuss their take on social media with the cast, crew, and audience.”

“This month we’re bringing some comedy and dramedy to #WeWatchKenyan with MyMovies.Africa,” says Mr. Mike Strano, co-founder and chief operations officer of YAKWETU. “On our panel are some very funny stand-up comedians who also write and produce. They are generously sharing their secrets for success with our audience of students, professionals, and fans.”

Meet the brilliant minds behind these films:

Ciku Waithaka – writer and actress of Influenced.

Samuel Oduor – writer, director and producer of Teka.

Adams Eston – assistant producer of Teka.

Nick Olwah – actor of Teka.
