the Lake Victoria Basin Film Makers Guild (Kenya) is an umbrella body of film makers (script writers, artistes, designers, directors and producers based in the western Kenya region. the movement was founded to reduce artists exploitation by film makers, to patent works of local artistes to promote quality film making through good scripting and acting.
the western Kenya region is god endowed with unique sceneries and heritages, monuments like thim lich ohinga, kit mikayi, uyoma peninsula ,winam gulf, mfangano islands etc. these unique sceneries make film making memorable. Film scholar’s state “that film exists as an economic and cultural good”. we film makers based in the region intend to that, film making will create job opportunities in the region and therefore create a forum for professional acting ( training of acting skills.
Film is a unique work and in its uniqueness brings pleasure and people together by creating space for fun and escapism for people and a medium for enjoyable learning, it mirrors people lifestyles as they watch the screen the laugh at their follies and make the necessary adjustments vis-vis the character on the screen.
In the recent past,film makers based in the region want to be at the centre of film making through quality scripting and acting. We must tell our stories and our stories must be heard.We have develop a new film script based on the Luo mythology titled SIMBI NYAIMA- ABUOR by Otumba Ouko of Maseno University.

We appeal to well wishers- corporate society to support film making outside Nairobi. Film making must take rest in western Kenya.
