Paul Kihuha, a Kenyan entrepreneur, has found success in the film industry by creating homemade film equipment. His company, Protisa Creations Life Care Agency (L.C.A), was established in 2013 to address the challenge of accessing film equipment in the local industry.
According to Kihuha, his job involves making filming equipment, and he is proud to be the only one in the country doing so successfully. On a good day, he makes over Ksh100,000 from his homemade film equipment.
Protisa's story is an inspiration to the youth, celebrating innovation and self-employment. His success also shows that there are different ways to be successful in the film industry beyond traditional roles of actors and actresses.
As Kihuha revealed, "My name is Paul Kihuha but I am popularly known as Protisa. I am the founder of Protisa Creations Life Care Agency (L.C.A), Pakacha as well as Protisa Foundation. My job mostly involves making filming equipment."
Protisa's innovative approach has caught the attention of comedian Erick Omondi, who has visited his workshop. You can watch more about Protisa's inspiring story on the Pulselive YouTube channel.
