Hilda Awori

A Bachelor of Arts in Film and Drama graduate, Hilda Awori is a writer, producer and director. She started out as a stage actress for a theatre company in Kampala, and for a moment, this fueled her passion to take up acting professionally. When the opportunity to be a part of the Nairobi hub of the MultiChoice Talent Factory Academy presented itself, the timing could not have been more perfect as Awori needed to learn more about the scriptwriting craft beyond the mentorship from her theatre director and her own initiative and from what she knew within Uganda's creative film and TV industry. This is in light of the fact that scriptwriting in Uganda, according to Awori, is not as revered as the role of a director or producer. The academy curriculum saw her work on productions such as Coke Studio, in Nairobi, as well as work on the set of hit Maisha Magic TV telenovela Selena.
