Moses Irungu Muriuki is a 25-year-old Kenyan audio-visual content developer chasing his film directing dream career.
His favourite African film star is Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o, and the African film creative he looks up to the most is screenwriter Abel Mutua, who created a deeply relatable show for Kenyans in The Real House helps of Kawangware.
Given the chance to create his own TV show, Muriuki’s would be a nostalgic take on African households back in the 1980s, when owning a TV set was a community affair.
As part of the MultiChoice Talent Factory Academy’s Class of 2019, Muriuki hopes to use the programme as a platform to develop his talent and engage with other creatives in an ever- changing creative film and TV industry like that of Africa’s. He also plans to add more authenticity and emotion to how Africa’s stories are visually told.
Alongside film and TV, Muriuki is also passionate about agriculture and global food security.
