"Don't be a superstar." - Canicius Kabwe, Cinematographer

That's the enduring advice that the Zambian multi-talented filmmaker had to share in our Zoom call interview.

Canicius also shared how important community and mentorship is to him, as he follows in his older brother's cinematic footsteps, while at the same time, paving his own way. In addition, he praised the impact that "god of lighting", Justyn Davis had on him when tyey met in the Lagod Lighting Masterclass.

All this and more in our incredible talk on all things film, editing, camera, and more, from the heart of Zambia. Tune in and enjoy!
