Moses Bwayo is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker known for shooting and co-directing the award-winning feature documentary Bobi Wine: The People’s President (2023). Born in the village of Bududa on the slopes of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda, Moses was introduced to filmmaking by peeking through cracks in the walls of local kibandas, bootleg movie theaters housed in wooden shacks. In 2013, he graduated with honors with his Bachelor of Arts in journalism and mass communication. Moses went on to earn a postgraduate diploma at Kampala Film School, the nation’s top film and television conservatory, and started working as a production sound recordist and cinematographer. His life changed when he met Oscar®-nominated director Mira Nair. Nair took Moses under her wing and mentored him for two years, during which he performed sundry jobs for Disney’s Queen of Katwe (2016), traveling to the United States for the first time for the final mix with Nair in New York. In 2016, Moses started his own production company in Kampala, Jajja Productions. During the production of Bobi Wine: The People’s President, Moses was arrested, imprisoned, and shot in the face at close range while filming.
