Thanks Thomas in OUAGADUGU IN BURKINA FASO
for not hiding your nationality outside malawi.Many malawians hide their Malawian Nationality abroad, I do not know why?

l was previaged to have watched this movie at FESPACO Film Festival In Oagadogou (Burkina Faso), l must say it made me very proud as a Malawian and l am not surpised that it has won these awards. The film story line is perfect for our market and the quality is good.
My heart felt congratulations to the team and keep up the good work.
With this Malawian film success l believe that it high time we start lobbying our government to support the film industry through incentives schemes. while we appreciate the govenment support through the recently duty waiver on film production equipment, l would think that setting aside funds which could be used by local producer as part contribution towards the production budget would further encourage a lot more producers to follow First Dawn’s success. We do not need to re invent the wheel, we only need to look at other counntries like South
Africa which have these incentive schemes, adapt them to our Malawian setting. Lest we forget, this industry, contribute towards economic development through employment creation, it educates and also attract foreign investments if we market the country as a film location destination, (refer to the Morroco success story).
“God Bless Malawi”

Congrats Mr Joya!!! But its painful for us in Malawi not to have access to the movie after all these months. Pliz put the DVDs on the local market espeditiously.

Government has alot of priorities. You dont need the whole government to promote the film industry the private sector and the general public (you & me)are cabable. We can promote the industry simple by patronising their shows whenever they are performing; buying Original and not Pilated Works. By the end of the day you won’t know how much your small share has contributed to the growth of the Industry. We are the government (Ife tonse? BOMAAA!!!) so let us start supporting our talented men and women.
