Wakaliwood, also known as Ramon Film Productions, is a film studio based in Wakaliga, a slum in Uganda's capital of Kampala. Its founder and director is Isaac Godfrey Geoffrey Nabwana, a.k.a. Nabwana I.G.G.,[1] who has been called Uganda's Quentin Tarantino,[2] after the gratuitous violence in his films. Wakaliwood is best known for its ultra-low budget (estimated to be in the region of $200[3]) action movies, such as Who Killed Captain Alex?, Bad Black, Tebaatusasula, and the upcoming crowdsourced film Tebaatusasula: Ebola.[4][5][6]
