Having started acting while still in Primary, Mukama David fell more in love with storytelling when Covid19 broke out. During this period of lockdown, he founded a comedy group together with his friends where they could produce and upload skits on YouTube. In 2021, he collaborated with a friend who had a short film project titled "Across The River" which premiered later that very year. Furthermore, they produced a feature length movie titled "Bridge of Triumph" in early 2022. In 2023, David successfully completed his Screenwriting course from Cinearts Academy leading to an ward of a certificate. He went on and produced his very first short film titled "Dear Mom" in 2024. He continues working on different projects which are yet to come.
With every line and frame, comes a new story twist embracing the diversity of storytelling.
