A BIG STEP FOR BOTSWANA ACTORS!

We recently hosted a professional photoshoot for actors signed under the Acting Tribe (Acting Agency) as we prepare to launch our official acting agency website in collaboration Kuhle Bale Media

At Film Garden, our goal is not only to teach people how to act. We want to create a pathway from training to real opportunities.

We recruit and train aspiring actors through our Film Garden Acting Classes, and after completing their training, selected actors are signed under our Acting Agency.

From there, we work on building their professional profiles, connecting them to opportunities and helping position them for acting jobs.

Our new website is a BIG move because it will make Botswana actors more visible and easier to discover.

1.Local productions will be able to search for Botswana talent.
2. International productions will be able to Google and discover our actors. Casting 3.teams will be able to view professional actor profiles and photographs.
4.Our actors will have a professional platform where their talent and experience can be showcased.

For us, this is bigger than a website.
It is about building the infrastructure needed for a sustainable Botswana acting industry.

We believe Botswana has incredible talent. Now we are building the platforms and systems that can help that talent reach local and international productions.

From acting classes → to agency representation → to professional profiles → to acting opportunities.
Botswana has the talent. We are building the bridge to the industry.

WHY I STARTED FILM GARDEN

I started Film Garden because, during auditions, I saw many passionate and talented actors struggling to get acting opportunities. Some actors would even travel all the way from Maun to Gaborone for auditions.

I could see the passion and potential in many of these actors. I knew that if they were given the right opportunities, training, and experience, they could become great actors. Unfortunately, during auditions, productions often look for the most experienced and polished actors.

That is why I started Film Garden.

I wanted to create a place where actors could learn, grow, gain experience, and develop their skills. Through Film Garden, we offer acting classes and give actors opportunities to shoot acting videos and other productions.

In Botswana, there are limited places where talented people can go to learn and grow in the film industry. Film Garden was created to help bridge that gap.

Today, we are celebrating 11 years of developing skills and creating opportunities for talent.

We are open for registration! Any age 💰Registration Fee: P400

I totally agree with Mdu Tha Party

I have always been fighting the workshop mentality in our creative industry. In Botswana, when someone has knowledge or connections, the first thing they do is organize workshops and invite their friends to come and speak about the industry.

Personally, I am not a fan of workshops.

Instead of doing workshops, I used my industry knowledge and connections to start Film Garden. Today, we have over 100 talented artists. Rather than talking about opportunities, I spend every day working with talent and implementing what I know about the creative industry.

I also started an acting agency so that my friends and industry connections can hire our talent, collaborate with them, and create real opportunities not just workshops.

Botswana has become a workshop country. We need people with knowledge, skills, and connections to start companies, businesses, and organizations that sign talent, connect them with opportunities, and use their experience to help talent grow into sustainable businesses.

The government spends millions, even billions of p**a, on workshops for creatives, yet the same government struggles to fund actual creative projects. As a result, many creatives now make money from workshops because they know that's what government and companies are willing to fund. That is the mentality we have created in Botswana a workshop mentality.

We hold meetings, discuss the challenges facing the industry, and then... nothing happens.

With Film Garden, I chose a different path. Instead of talking about the industry's challenges or running endless workshops, I chose to work with talent every single day. I implement what I know about the industry, connect talent with opportunities, and help them build real careers.

The creative industry will not grow through workshops alone. It will grow when we build institutions, companies, productions, and businesses that create opportunities every day.
