The film club has secured external help to makes its dreams a reality.
The club is also in process of securing UShs50m to facilitate its end of year project that will showcase some of the best talent that the club has to offer.

“We shall do whatever it takes to see to it that your end of year project is a success.” Said Awel Uwihanganye, the Operations Director of Tetea Uganda, and founder of the Young Achievers Awards.
Uwihanganye made the announcement at the launch of the UCU film club last week where he was chief guest.
At the end of the year, members of the film club wish to organise a film festival that will showcase projects that have been done by students.
Uwihanganye also added that his media house, Tetea, would award two internship placements for students of Mass Communication.
“We shall always give at least two internship opportunities annually to students of Mass Communication who are interested in film.”
Students, numbering about 500 also got the chance to watch ‘Imani’, the movie, free of charge as part of the film club launch.
In 2015, TV as we know it is set to migrate from analogue to digital programming. This shift will create a huge demand for home grown programming and also deliver much better quality pictures and sound.
“In 2015, TV and FM radio will migrate from analogue to digital platforms. This thus means that a given TV station like for instance NTV will be able to operate more than one TV station in a given market, when that time comes there will be a need for programming and that will be your chance to shine.” Said Uwihanganye
The film industry in Uganda dates back to the colonial days. The first films in Uganda were made by the then ministry of Information in the 1960’s and it was mainly for educating farmers on matters of saving and also citizens on a whole range of matters that affected them in one way or another.
“The film industry has continued to grow since then, and it pays a lot more today than it did then,” said Okoku Obomba from the UCU department of Mass Communication.
He also encouraged the students to seek all the sorts of partnerships so that they could further the growth of their club.
“Seek all the kinds of partnerships that you can get, I am happy that you have started the film club entirely on your own we shall support you as a department and also at personal level.”
He also added that a few years back, a group of Hollywood personalities came to UCU with the preposition of training students in film, but because of logistical hiccups they could not go ahead with their expectations.
The club raised over one hundred thousand for a film fund.
