Kenya is encouraging private investors to partner with the government to establish the country as major film production destination.
Investment Opportunities
The Kenyan government has embarked on initiatives aimed at unlocking new business opportunities in the film industry.
The film industry serves as a useful tool for tapping the artistic energies of creative Kenyans and can be a vehicle for diversification of exports as locally produced films can be marketed in other countries thus earning foreign exchange.
Kenya's vast open spaces and clear blue skies offer prime destinations for Hollywood productions. Many world famous films such as Born Free and Walking With Lions, among others, have so far been shot in the arid and semi-arid areas of Kenya.
In order to develop a major motion picture production industry with rich economic, social, and cultural rewards, the government plans to establish public private partnerships on film production to enhance local content development. Investors are encouraged to invest in this market segment.
