A storm over the quality of Kenyan films erupted on social media recently, with Kenyans tearing apart productions they felt fell short of audience expectations.

Critics questioned recycled story lines and casts, a lack of versatility and what they described as weak production quality.

Some argued that Kenya has the talent but lacks the money, equipment and infrastructure needed to turn good ideas into productive productions that can compete beyond the local market.
