Desmond Okeyo is a filmmaker who has been practicing Location Sound Recording for three years. He started off his journey from a workshop where he got an opportunity to learn filmmaking. One year later, he had the privilege of working as part of the team that produces the Maisha Magic TV series - PETE in Funzi Island, Mombasa. On the set of PETE he worked as a boom operator before working on a documentary which premiered on BBC and Showmax as well as other genres such as comedy, live broadcasts, TV commercials and feature films.
Desmond is of the opinion that being part of the MultiChoice Talent Factory Academy class of 2022 is a major trajectory in gaining the skills that will make him compatible enough to tell quality African stories as a film director. He looks forward to using his creativity to package compelling and engaging stories that African and the world will appreciate.
Through MultiChoice, Desmond has learnt that knowledge is power and filmmaking is a profession and not an informal skill as is often packaged. He looks forward to using the knowledge he will gain at the academy to teach the less fortunate film makers in his community and make a sustainable and purposeful life from film.
