Overview
Kibwe started on the path to directing when he was about 13. Directing for him feels like a combination of all life’s experiences regurgitated in moving image and sound. He taught himself to animate, became a travel photographer, trained as an architect and engineer each time trying to follow that path finding out something new about himself and the world, but each path he followed found him more and more confused and uncertain about where he was actually headed. Until he got the opportunity to start making films where using ideas and influences from all aspects of his life to create something. Embracing uncertainties gave Kibwe more freedom. It gave him the opportunity to create and gave him a voice. Kibwe continues to embrace uncertainties in his work and in life; although scary, it can lead to amazing things.
