 United we stand, divided we fall was the motto  That was the rationale that inspired three leading film production companies to unite as one formidable production house named XGeneration. XGeneration is going to act as a production catalyst for different projects through reinforcement of equipment and crew from the three companies. The companies include Zenji Studios, Purple Hearts, Teez Studios and Giraffe Studio.  Unity of the Uganda film industry has been contentious in the past with failed attempts due to mistrust among the stakeholders. We have had UFMI, Uganda Film Producers Association, The Uganda Film Club, Pearl Wood, Uganda Filmmakers Association,  Association of Film Practitioners Ug, #UgandaFilmAssociation to mention but a few. Some filmmakers have felt out of place regardless of the countless groups.    But since unity is inevitable for progress, some filmmakers with similar dreams are now teaming up to serve their interests much faster.  I commend the XGeneration for taking this step. Time will tell.   Like the saying goes if you want to go fast move alone but if you want to go far move with others. UNITY IS A MUST IF WE WANT TO BENEFIT FROM OUR FILMS. Mediavision Academy was on ground to support the formation of this new force. Like our motto "Where dreams come true", we made our contribution to see that the dreams of these youths are can come true at some point.  Our goal is to  empower young people in the film sector make ends meet.  I can't wait for mob titles from XGeneration come 2024.
