Talk Film To Me Podcast

This was the first-ever live recording of Talk Film To Me, and honestly, it felt like a masterclass. I sat down with the brilliant Enos Olik, cinematographer, director, and one of the most consistent visual storytellers in Kenya, to talk about what it really takes to build a career behind the camera. From skill and access to the money conversation and creative growth, this one goes beyond inspiration into real, practical truth. Enos breaks down what separates good cinematographers from great ones, how to navigate the business side of creativity, and what the future of visual storytelling in Kenya looks like.

In this episode of Talk Film To Me, I sit down with Thoguo, the TikTok-famous dating coach who’s changing the conversation around love and relationships. Together, we unpack what it really means to date in the creative space and film industry:

Why many creatives struggle in relationships outside the industry

Whether dating within the industry makes things easier or messier

How film, art, and storytelling shape the way we view love

Real talk on balancing passion for work with passion in relationships

If you’ve ever wondered whether “industry love” is worth it or how your creative career influences your dating life, this conversation will have you nodding, laughing, and maybe questioning your own experiences.

So would you date a creative?

One year ago, I sat on Lesley’s podcast where he passionately challenged the film industry and everything it stood for. Fast forward to today, and things have shifted ,the battles he fought so hard against are now the very things he believes in.

In this candid conversation, we unpack how time, experience, and perspective can completely change the way we see the industry we love (and sometimes hate). From stubborn stances to surprising shifts, this episode is all about growth, contradiction, and the messy beauty of evolving as a creative.

This week I tag-team with film critic Bosibori . We break down Inside Job, the KE film on Netflix, chat a bit about MTV Shuga which is available to watch on Youtube, and spill on her journey into film criticism. Hot takes, bops, flops, and good vibes only! Let’s talk film!

Ever wondered what it’s really like to step into the international film scene? In this episode of Talk Film To Me, I share my journey at the Durban International Film Festival and the Talent Press program, what I learned, the challenges I faced, and how the experience reshaped my view of the industry.

If you’re a filmmaker, critic, or film lover curious about opportunities beyond borders, this episode will give you insights, lessons, and maybe even the push you need to chase your own path.

In this episode, I bring my mum onto the podcast for a heart-to-heart about my film journey. We talk about how she’s seen me grow into this path, her hopes, and her very real fears about me choosing a career in film. It’s honest, emotional, and sometimes hilarious ,the kind of conversation that reminds you how deeply personal our creative journeys are, not just for us but for the people who love us most.

If you’ve ever chased a dream your parents didn’t fully understand (or supported you through anyway), this one’s for you. 💛

In this debut episode, I sit down with my friend Marylyn, who steps in as interviewer to turn the spotlight on me. Together, we trace my journey into the world of film criticism from early interests to the experiences that shaped my perspective and voice in the industry. We answer the question, who is Nkatha the film critic?
