Heddwyn Kyambadde

Born in South Africa and raised in Uganda, Heddwyn's heritage comes from one that shuns the creative industry. His privilege didn't come from wealth but from parents that didn't force an ideal career on him (regardless of male privilege after 4 older sisters). His passion has stemmed over continents, failures, empathy and a drive to dignify African cinema.

BWERU FILMS – Uganda

An international creative production house focused on powerful stories intent on redefining African media from a dignified local perspective.
